Thank you for checking.

I'd rather not make any promises, so I don't have to care about keeping
them. This makes it easier to think about and allows for more freedom in
changing the core code if needed.

What if in the future there is a use case for enabling a bunch of resets
by flipping a number of bits in a single register at the same time? Or
if people accidentally depend on the ordering when in reality there is a
small delay necessary between assertions that just happens to be hidden
by the framework overhead?

If there is a use case for an array of reset controls that must be
(de)asserted in a fixed order and doesn't need any delay between the
steps and is not suitable to be described by named resets for some
reason, we can discuss this. Until then, I'm happy that tegra pmc can
handle arrays without any particular ordering.

Philipp
