With this flag, reset should be skipped on init, for example for an SDRAM
controller during booting or to preserve a boot logo etc. However, if a
reset is requested later on after init, we must ignore this flag.

We are now also calling sysc_reset() during runtime, so in theory some
device would not reset during usage as requested. I don't think we have
such cases in reality though. So yeah this is more cleanup rather than a
fix AFAIK.

Let's just leave out the fixes tag as there are no known bugs caused
by this.
