I had something very similar to this when I was developing this driver but moved away from this.
Following the clocks implementation I had a separate dtsi for resets for each device and had the data defined like so
for each SoC.
&prcm_resets {
device_reset: device_reset {
rstctrl_offs = <0x1104>;
ctrl_bit-shift = <0>;
rstst_offs = <0x1114>;
sts_bit-shift = <0>;
};
gpu_reset: gpu_reset {
rstctrl_offs = <0x0D00>;
ctrl_bit-shift = <3>;
rstst_offs = <0x0D0C>;
sts_bit-shift = <5>;
};
};
And then any client interested in a specific reset driver would include this
resets = <&prcm_resets &gpu_reset>;
reset-names = "gpu_reset";
Our reset code would then retrieve the register data through the phandle instead of an index.
Thoughts?
