Argh, yes you are correct. Specifically both npu2_dev_procedure_reset() and
reset_ntl() contain:

	/* NTL Reset */
	val = npu2_read(ndev->npu, NPU2_NTL_MISC_CFG1(ndev));
	val |= PPC_BIT(8) | PPC_BIT(9);
	npu2_write(ndev->npu, NPU2_NTL_MISC_CFG1(ndev), val);

Which should fence the brick. However from what I recall there was more to
reliably preventing HMIs than merely fencing the brick. It invovled a sequence
of fencing and flushing the cache with dcbf instructions at the right time which
is why we also have the FLR. Unfortunately I don't know the precise details,
perhaps if we send enough coffee Balbir's way he might be able remind us?
