Yes, the omap_device_enable bails out if the reset lines are still
asserted, and the driver code deals with the resets currently. This code
essentially achieves the same as if a HWMOD_INIT_NO_RESET flag is
added to the corresponding hwmods - we do not want the hwmod/omap_device
code to enable the processor IPs and leave the enabling/device
management to the driver.

Let me test this and get back to you if there are any issues.
