As mentioned in my v1 review, you are doing proper u32 accesses.

You have a dedicated function to put the IP core into reset
"ccan_set_reset_mode()". If you don't trust you IP core or it needs some
time, add a poll to that function and return an error.

Then there's no need on ccan_bittime_configuration() to check for reset
mode.
