I've not read all the details of the discussion here, just a comment on
what this implies if we go with this.

I'm not sure we want to tie the ->reset stuff in with other helpers. One
of the design goals I had with all things atomic was to make helpers much
more modular, and imo the reset is one such piece - a driver might want to
instead reconstruct state from hw using something like i915's hw state
readout/compare/verify framework.

If we can solve this init ordering issue without adding a depency on the
reset stuff that would be a bit neater imo. But that's just my 2 cents.

Cheers, Daniel
