One thing to clarify is, the loadable module support is ONLY for i.MX ARMv8 SoCs,
ARMv7 SoCs is NOT in the plan, that is why I add this patch to make it same as previously
when this reset driver is =y by default. Without this patch, this reset driver will NOT be
enabled by default for i.MX ARMv7 SoCs, function will be broken.

Thanks,
