I agree, it doesn't smell right that this SoC doesn't have a way to
assert PERST#.

The response at
https://lore.kernel.org/r/SG2PR03MB63415DB5791C58C7EA69FF01FF682@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
suggests that maybe there's a hardware defect that means asserting
PERST# doesn't work correctly?  But surely firmware must have a way of
asserting PERST#, at least at boot time.

If this is truly a hardware defect and we really can't assert PERST#,
please say that this is a defect in the commit log so people don't
think that lack of PERST# is an acceptable thing.
