I am not sure whether this is ABI break issue. There was no compatible
mentioning that "reset works" which now would be replaced. The
existing PMU compatible (like samsung,exynos4412-pmu) does not mention
"reset" as a feature coming with this compatible.

So no ABI break.

Selecting from defconfig is not sufficient... since I do not have
other idea than selecting then ovak, but Alim please check it whether
it does not create circular dependencies on various configs.
