Yes; same is true on other ARMs too.  The integrator can expose
a power-on-reset signal ... but usually doesn't,  I think there's
explicit guidance not to do that any more.

Consider all the stuff that's *specific* to a power-up:  gotta
watch for voltage levels being OK, supply sequencing, whatever
oscillator is used during boot must stabilize, ... all kinds of
stuff that applys only to powerup, and shouldn't be repeated.

Whereas on any flavor of warm reset, you may want to explicitly
avoid re-initializing debug state.  Otherwise you can't very
easily debug the reset sequence...
