All eMMC devices have a reset pin. The MMC standard specifies this as
one way to reset the card, others being a special reset command, or
powering the card off. It also notes a state when the card will not
accept commands, and will require a power cycle or asserting the reset
pin.

I assume all designs would route this pin. The FEX files also have this
pin included by default.
