So based on the tests done by Dave on various GPIO banks without the reset, this seems OK to do. So applying into omap-for-v3.15/fixes-v2 to get the board booting properly. Naturally this is not a reason to stop further work on making sure the GPIO driver actually knows what state the bank is as suggested by Felipe.
