Agreed, we can defer GPIO reset support until a board needs it and
we can test it. I checked again, and the SDK only added this support
recently. It provides GPIO-controlled PERST# as an alternative to
the native PERST# control through the PMU.

I checked the register specification. The PCIe A/B/C IOMMU bypass
bits reset to 1, so bypass is the hardware reset default and does
not require firmware to enable it. That resolves my concern.

I have not confirmed which clock controls this MMIO region yet.
I have asked our clock team about its clock and reset dependencies
and whether access before resource initialization is guaranteed.
I will follow up once I have clarification.
