Sure, something like that would make sense for 3.5.

There's a patch queued to pass along the return status from _reset():

http://marc.info/?l=linux-omap&m=133417544011862&w=2

As far as the new state goes, if you'd like to add a new state to indicate 
an IP block that fails _reset()/_wait_target_ready() and should be blocked 
from further use, that sounds good to me...
