I'm aware of this problem but I was unable to solve it when I first
wrote the driver. I didn't have access to a scope so I wasn't able to
figure out what was causing the lock up.  I worked around it by
looping in reset until the chip did actually reset, but Mark wouldn't
let me submit that code.

A while ago Maximilian Mueth <maximilian.mueth at mp-ndt.de> sent me a
note saying another solution was to configure the PSC into AC97 mode
in uboot. His impression was that uboot was setting PSC into its
default mode. Then Linux booted and set the PSC into AC97 mode. The
transition from default mode into AC97 mode caused glitches on the
AC97 reset pins and triggered test mode.

Would making a change in uboot be a better solution? Eric, can you
verify if changing uboot also fixes the problem?

I'm glad were finally getting to the root cause of the problem.
