dds an API for this purpose for OMAP4 devices: int omap4_prm_is_hardreset_asserted(void __iomem *rstctrl_reg, u8 shift); int omap4_prm_assert_hardreset(void __iomem *rstctrl_reg, u8 shift); int omap4_prm_deassert_hardreset(void __iomem *rstctrl_reg, u8 shift); This API is intended to be used only by the hwmod code - a subsequent patch will add that support to hwmod. This patch is a collaboration between Benoît Cousson and Paul Walmsley . Signed-off-by: Paul Walmsley Signed-off-by: Benoît Cousson Tested-by: Kevin Hilman
