I'm not sure what's going on with blank lines above - AFAICT there's no
actual change just a blank line being moved. It's best to avoid blank
line changes to keep the diff readable.

NIT: checkpatch complains about the alignment here.

Other than the minor comments this looks fine. Hard reset isn't
something we want to use (there's a possibility of locking up the system
if it occurs during a bus transaction) but it can sometimes recover an
otherwise completely locked up GPU.
