I'm still waiting on some info from NXP about this. It is not
documented in the RM.

At least that is what I'm assuming.

The fundamental issue with the GPU domain is that there is no BLK_CTL
in the GPUMIX domain and the resets are hooked up to the shared SRC
reset, instead of having GPU BLK_CTL level resets.
