For example, we usually reset the configuration through the "reset"
node before using a TPDM, so as to avoid the previous configuration
affecting the current use. And in some scenarios, it may be necessary
to reset the TPDM configuration to complete the verification of certain
function.

Make sense, I will update this in the next patch series.

We usually reset the configuration through the "reset" node at the
beginning of using a TPDM. DSB related elements need to be initialized
before configuring them.
The TPDM is usually to be used by the following sequence.
Reset(initialization) -> Configure -> Enable to use

In some scenarios, it may be necessary to reset the TPDM configuration
in the process of verification and re-configure the TPDM. If this is the
case, we need to disable the TPDM first, and re-configure before enabling
it again.
