Matches mine :)

For MMUs and (out of tree) OMAP remoteprocs, my current sequence is
omap_device_deassert_hardreset() followed by pm_runtime_get_sync() or
omap_device_enable() during booting, and pm_runtime_put_sync() or
omap_device_idle() followed by omap_device_assert_hardreset(). Atleast
they are bunched together.

So, the current code does _deassert_hardreset twice when invoking the
pm_runtime_get_sync() in my driver since the check for
_are_all_hardreset_lines_asserted(oh) would fail.

For MMUs/processors, the position where we deassert the reset becomes
important. It has to be after the clocks are enabled (which is why half
of the _deassert_hardreset code looks like the code sequence in _enable()).
