It should be based on what is in the TRMs. Unlike pclk, there doesn't
appear to be a standard name or number of resets:
pl011: PRESETn and nUARTRST
pl330: ARESETn
Can't you just retrieve all of them and deassert them all and ignore the name?
Also, you might need to use the shared variant as the core code has to
work for either dedicated or shared resets.
