Here Bjorn meant pci-dra7xx is broken in mainline and not the dra7xx boot
as such. (which is due to the absence of reset controller driver).
All the patches to pci-dra7xx were tested on mainline kernel (having
out-of-tree reset patches since the reset controller driver is not merged).

dra7x is the only device that use this pci driver and all the patches to
pci-dra7xx have been tested on both dra7 and dra72 boards.

Thanks
