That will also work, we just didn't go that route as it appeared to be adding hardware data to a driver. >> + >> +Required properties: >> +-------------------- >> + - reg : This reset's number, this will be used to reference >> + this reset by consumers of this reset > > Now you have a made up index unrelated to anything in the h/w.

We have made this change to avoid adding the reset data in the consumer nodes as was done in v1, and provide it in the controller node itself. We still need a way for consumers to match a specific reset. This is unavoidable if the controller were to encode all the reset data (even if we go with coding up the resets in the driver using SoC-specific compatibles, and use a dt-include header file to mark the indices). regards Suman > >> + - reset-control : Contains the reset control register information >> + Should contain 3 cells defined as: >> + Cell #1 : register offset of the reset >> + control/status register from the syscon >> + register base >> + Cell #2 : bit shift value for the reset in the >> + respective reset control/status register >> + Cell #3 : polarity of the reset bit.
