It should depend on the platform. There are other uses for hwmod-no-reset -> Eg. boot logo displayed by bootloader - if there is a reset of DSS block and re-configuration, we'd notice a blank-out, which is not desirable either. There could be a few other usage based on no-reset. In all cases, you'd prefer to make this: a) platform dependent (board dts) b) reserve GPIO as well so that no other driver'd take it - if they attempt ther'd at least be some form of warning. -- Regards, Nishanth Menon -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-omap" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
