I don't see the issue here. expose tegra_periph_reset() for the device
API only, internally you can do whatever you like. Call them
independently if you need.

Well, that's just because struct device doesn't know about its own clock
providers, right ? Should that be patched too ?

Russell, as the orignal author of the clk API, what do you think ?
