Do we ever need to do this outside a powergating or railgating sequence?

I think the reset_control_assert should wait for the FLUSH_DONE bit to be set
because only then all outstanding memory transactions for the client are
completed so you can't realistically claim the reset has been asserted before
the bit is set. Then you could also expose a single reset which handles both
the memory client and the module reset in CAR? Ie:

reset_control_assert(powergate->rst_module); would set FLUSH_ENABLE for the
memory client, wait for the FLUSH_DONE bit and then assert the CAR reset.
reset_control_deassert(powergate->rst_module); would deassert the CAR reset
and then clear the FLUSH_ENABLE bit. Or is there a usecase to control them
individually?

Cheers,

Peter.
