This patch accidentally disables hardreset for all flavors of nv controllers which causes problems for ck804. A later patch to only apply it to generic went in but it then broke nf2 flavor, so it seems generic and nf2 require this workaround but ck804 doesn't like the workaround. I've asked a reporter to test to apply the workaround only to generic and nf2 and will forward the third patch as soon as it's confirmed. So, please wait till the third one is ready.
