-Subject: [PATCH] ARM: sunxi: Register the A31 reset IP in init_time
-
-The A31 has a reset IP that maintains a few other IPs in reset by
-default. Among these IPs are the UARTs, and most notably the timers. We
-thus need to register the reset driver before initializing the timers so
-that the reset timer can use the reset framework.
