It's about syscon-reboot-mode, not syscon-reboot. Such modes are board-
not soc-specific. Yes, a board DTS can override a compatible, but this
is error prone as you can't just add a compatible, you need to hardcode
the other compatibles in the SoC dtsi, which may change for good reason
in future. barebox supports fixing up syscon-reboot-mode nodes defined
in its own device tree to the Linux DT. While in theory, it could check
if the parent node contains syscon/simple-mfd and fix it up if necessary,
it sounds to me like this should be rather part of the upstream DT.

Cheers,
Ahmad
