Um, no. I don't think the thread is proposing hwmod kind of
implementation for each machine that implements the (to be proposed)
reset API. Mike is just asking to have a look at omap hwmod to see how
it handles device resets for an inspiration on how the proposed API can
work. The final API will generic with machine specific implementation
for each machine that implements it.

OMAP created HWMOD to handle the complexities of that chip, there is no
need to replicate that in DaVinci.

The link is definitely interesting and exactly what we were looking for.
It will be better to continue the discussion on that thread there so all
interested parties are on a single thread.

Thanks,
Sekhar
