Why doesn't assertion of the pll_powerdown input signal reset the Intel® Arria® 10 device fPLL?

Environment

    Intel® Quartus® Prime Standard Edition
    Intel® Quartus® Prime Pro Edition
    fPLL Intel® Arria® 10 Cyclone® 10 FPGA IP
BUILT IN - ARTICLE INTRO SECOND COMPONENT
Description

By default, the Intel® Arria® 10 fPLL IP core's internal reset signal is controlled by the Avalon-MM register but not the pll_powerdown input signal. Therefore, asserting the pll_powerdown input signal will not reset the Intel® Arria® 10 fPLL.

Resolution

Add the following QSF assignment to change the reset control from the Avalon-MM register to the pll_powerdown input:
