Better yet, just add this specific  _deassert_hardreset logic to a DRA7
PCIe-specific class->reset function. You won't need adding the
HWMOD_CUSTOM_HARDRESET flags either and will satisfy your suspend/resume
dilemma, and it won't affect other paths. If that can work for you, that
would be simplest patch for this -rc cycle.

Sekhar,
Will you be following up with above suggestion since Kishon is gonna be out?
