The interface is currently not used in the mainline kernel, and
having a global header for it is not a good solution in the long
run. Please have a look at the patches labeled "Reset controller
API to reset IP modules on i.MX5 and i.MX6" from Philipp Zabel
and coordinate with him or base your own drivers on his code
when you get it upstream.
