There's still Rob's concern that this binding needs a device tree node
per single register bit in the worst case, which seems a bit overkill.
I'd still prefer to have this information hidden in the drivers, but if
you absolutely have to put it in the device tree, maybe an approach more
similar to pinctrl-simple, where you could list all resets, one per
line, in a single property, would be more acceptable:
pscrst: reset-controller {
compatible = "ti,<chip>-pscrst", "syscon-reset";
/* syscon-reset,bits = <ctrl_reg ctrl_bit stat_reg stat_bit flags>; */
syscon-reset,bits = <0xa3c 8 0x83c 8 RESET_ASSERT_CLEAR /* 0: pcrst-dsp */
0xa40 5 0 0 RESET_TRIGGER_SET>; /* 1: pcrst-example */
};
dsp0: dsp {
resets = <&pscrst 0>;
};

Good. Right now there don't seem to be that many reset controllers in
the wild for which this binding would be a good fit. If this turns out
to be useful for others, we can add more compatibles to the driver.
