equivalent of (* dont_touch = "yes" *) in vivado but for openlane

There is a set_dont_touch but it is only in the newest openlane/openroad (not in the mpw stuff yet)

What do you mean with "resize"?

(*keep*)

will prevent the synthesizer from removing modules without output nets. If it's actually about resizing, maybe

PL_RESIZER_TIMING_OPTIMIZATIONS 0

PL_RESIZER_DESIGN_OPTIMIZATIONS 0

GLB_RESIZER_TIMING_OPTIMIZATIONS 0

helps

@Marwan Abbas or @Kareem Farid should know the answer to this.
