I got to try this and looks like even without this series there are other PM
issues possible introduced by Commit 5de85b9d57ab ("PM / runtime: Re-init
runtime PM states at probe error and driver unbind").

Now I get this error if I tried to modprobe after rmmod pci-dra7xx.
[   54.352860] dra7-pcie 51000000.pcie: omap_device: omap_device_enable()
called from invalid state 1
[   54.362318] dra7-pcie 51000000.pcie: pm_runtime_get_sync failed
[   54.368624] dra7-pcie: probe of 51000000.pcie failed with error -22

>From the thread that fixes this issue [1], looks like drivers that use
*_autosuspend() get this issue. However I don't use *_autosuspend() in
pci-dra7xx. Maybe pci core has this? This has to be debugged further. But I
feel this is not related to the problem that we are trying to solve right now
(dra7 hangs if PCI driver is enabled) and given the fact that pci-dra7xx driver
is now modeled as built-in driver, this can be deferred.

Yeah, that's my understanding. And since this series solves the PCIe problem,
it's proven that hardreset control can be moved to hwmod code.

For PCIe, it's even okay to do deassert in _reset, but I'm not sure if it'll
have side effects with other modules.

Thanks

P.S. I'll be on vacation till end of next week with no email access till then.
So email response will be delayed. Sorry about that.
