Are you OK with requiring reset driver for AMBA devices too? The PL330 driver won't work until a reset driver is submitted for it.

Maybe this can be done later on.
I can see this flag useful for testing purposes but it should not be used in production.
How about I add a module parameter which is not set by default? When set, I don't perform the reset requirement check.

OK, no rush.
