The only thing I see going on between prereset and (hard/soft)reset
is an optional freeze, so I don't see why moving the pdc_reset_port()
into the beginning of hardreset() would make any difference.

sata_promise currently uses the ->hardreset and ->softreset inherited
from ata_sff_port_ops, so it would need to override both to ensure that
we always do pdc_reset_port() before libata does its thing. That's why
I felt doing that in ->prereset would be the right solution.
