Paul, what do you think is the best way forward to perform reset?

Many of the IP blocks with PRM hardreset lines are processor IP blocks. 
Those often need special reset handling to ensure that WFI/HLT-like 
instructions are executed after reset.  This special handling ensures that 
the IP blocks' bus initiator interfaces indicate that they are in standby 
to the PRCM - thus allowing power management for the rest of the chip to 
work correctly.

But that doesn't seem to be the case with PCIe - and maybe others - 
possibly some of the MMUs?  

Yeah, the sequencing between clocks and resets would still be the same
for MMUs, so, adding the custom flags for MMUs is fine.

I'm curious as to whether HWMOD_CUSTOM_HARDRESET is needed for the MMUs.  
We've stated that the main point of the custom hardreset code is to handle 
processors that need to be placed into WFI/HLT, but it doesn't seem like 
there would be an equivalent for MMUs.  Thoughts?
