This also seems to be required to use OF_PLATDATA, as the reset drivers
don't seem to work with it.

How do you un-reset IP blocks if you disable the reset controller ?

I found that out just now: there's the function
'reset_deassert_peripherals_handoff()' in spl_gen5.c that should
"De-assert reset for peripherals and bridges based on handoff". However,
at least for Gen5, it just writes a 0 to rstmgr->permodrst. By doing
that, it enables *ALL* peripherals on the SoC (except for some DMA
channels that aren't really used) :-)

I guess that needs some cleaning up as well ;-)

Yes

I think the proper thing to do here would be to remove this function and
convert all drivers to provide appropriate 'resets' properties in the dts?

Indeed

So I just did that and it works nice for SPL and U-Boot: By adding some "resets" properties the the main dtsi and adding reset bulk code to the cadence_qspi, denali_dt nand and drivers, I can nearly remove the reset code from arch/mach_socfpga.

The problem would be that now Linux cannot use peripherals that aren't enabled by U-Boot because it relies on them being enabled. How are such dependencies solved? Because even if I would add reset support in the corresponding Linux drivers, we probably could not bootolder Kernels (e.g. the Debian 9 kernel - v4.9.x) with a new U-Boot...
