Yes, missed that.

Sure. I added that as comments in code. I can do that in the patch
description too.

Okay, will explain that too.

There is work planned to have something implemented for OMAP as part of
drivers/reset/ API. AFAIK, this depends on some PRCM code clean-up
affecting multiple OMAP platforms and is couple of merge windows away
from taking shape.
Meanwhile, I think this is the best we can do. Other drivers like
i2c-omap have done something similar (see omap_i2c_reset()).

I do not see it doing any harm if done unconditionally. But it will be
unnecessary. Unless the UART is being used for wakeup, we don't need
MDR1 restored at this stage. And omap8250_restore_regs() will eventually
restore the register anyway.
