... here should work. No?! Just a simple driver that registers with the
reset-framework. I would add 0x7c to that driver and than that driver could
"configure" the port and let it out of reset.

I have done the same thing for the other 3 bridges, but am not finished yet.
Especially the GPV-stuff needs to at least be able to be added later if not now.

Regard,
Steffen
