As there isn't a way for the firmware on the Nyan chromebooks to hand
over the display to the kernel.

Perhaps this should be more explicit. I'm assuming this somehow breaks
on Nyan for you because we try to reprogram the SOR from an already
initialized state and that doesn't actually work? Your current commit
message doesn't make this sound like a fix for an actual problem.

If you do this in ->probe() there's a potentially long time where the
screen will remain black. A better location for this is probably in the
tegra_sor_init() function. That puts it closer to where the output is
reinitialized and potentially reduces the time where no display is
available.

Also it is a more logical place for this code, since the clocks are also
enabled in tegra_sor_init(). Technically resets on Tegra are synchronous
and therefore the reset should happen across the clk_prepare_enable()
call of the primary module clock. So I'd expect something like this:

	err = reset_control_assert(sor->rst);
	...

	err = clk_prepare_enable(sor->clk);
	...

	/* sleep */

	err = reset_control_deassert(sor->rst);
	...

Where sleep can probably be significantly shorter than 20 ms. I think
the documentation says that 2 us are typically enough. That said, I'm
fine with leaving in 20 ms, it shouldn't matter much in the overall
boot-time.

Also, since this will need to be revisited once we have proper hand-over
from firmware to kernel, do you mind adding a comment along these lines:

	/*
	 * XXX: Remove this reset once proper hand-over from firmware to
	 * kernel is possible.
	 */

?

Thanks,
Thierry
