Honestly - when I wrote that diff, I didn't care at all whether the HI registers
were powering off cores that weren't present, because I knew that the GPU would
have handled that gracefully anyway.

What I wanted to do was to reduce Krzysztof's testing effort to a minimum, actually
preventing to send more than one patch to try... but with that, you bought me a bit
of precious time that I would've spent with research, so, hats off! Thank you!

Hm. I didn't know that soft_reset is supposed to (and will) power down cores.
This is clarifying some things I didn't really have an explanation for... so thanks
again :-)

...which gives me some more ideas to try... in the near future.
But it's out of context for this fix anyway.

Cheers,
