OK great. The address space tinkering in hwmod code should be
moved to be done in the drivers.

As discussed earlier, there should be a driver specific reset
function driver_xyz_reset() in the driver header file so the
hwmod code can call it too in a late_initcall if no driver is
loaded.

The overhead here does not matter as it should only happen in a
late_initcall and only for some of the drivers. For that to
happen we just need to go through the list of modules not yet
probed. We also need to have some locking in the driver specific
reset function to avoid races with the loadable modules.

Let's add the code to hwmod to extract it from DT so hwmod code
can call the driver specific reset function defined in the driver
header. That way we can start moving the driver code out of hwmod
one driver at a time.

Note that the ioremapping should be done in the driver specific
reset function, not in hwmod code. We just need to pass the
iorange in a struct resource to the driver specific reset function.
