The thing is that this bit needs to be set before the the DSS hwmods are 
reset, and that happens very early. If we don't do this, DSS won't reset 
properly, and not get back to an idle state.

I am not sure where I can configure the syscon register early enough 
that it happens before the hwmods are reset. With a syscon mapping, I 
guess we would access the register when the DSS driver is probed. But 
that's too late for us.

Ideally, it would be much better to have a syscon mapping. Do you have 
any suggestions how this can be achieved very early in boot?
