This naming is a bit confusing as people may think that the
hardware has no reset support or no idle support. Let's try
to make this to describe the hardware a bit more instead.

Then ideally we'd not map individual bits of data to properties,
but describe few basic types of hardware instead and build
lists of things instead of tagging things. Or maybe we
can get this data from the bus hierarchy instead?

If these options don't work, and the choice may be board
specific, then how about ti,skip-reset-on-init, and
ti,skip-idle-on-init?
