TODO: resolve if we care about cross-domain clock synchronisation on the
jtag-controlled wb-en signals
Comment 4 Jacob Lifshay 2020-10-22 17:02:08 BST
I'd imagine we'd reset everything but jtag after disabling wb interfaces, so, probably not, though it wouldn't hurt to have cross-domain synchronization anyway.
