On Tegra186, other software components may rely on the kernel to
keep Host1x operational even during suspend. As such, as a quirk,
skip asserting Host1x's reset on Tegra186.

This all sounds a bit vague. What other software components rely on the
kernel to keep host1x operational during suspend? And why do they do so?
Why is this not a problem elsewhere?

My assumption is that it's due to a secure world application accessing NVDEC or display engines during suspend or resume. This happening without kernel knowledge is a bad thing, but it's hard to change at this point.

The reset line (CAR vs BPMP vs non-accessible reset line), and the secure application code programming this stuff is slightly different in every chip generation, which is where I think the differences happen.
