Yes, it needn't.

It's called CPU reset controller; every core has reset_ctrl &
reset_entry signals; Soc just gathers them into some regs.
For th1520, we have 4 reset_entries registers and 1 reset_ctrl
register. Fu Wei would give out more details about it.

It should be uint64.

Yes

The driver works with all T-HEAD CPUs, not only for th1520. Some
vendors may have their own custom CSRs, so the csr-copy feature is
flexible enough to adjust in dts. As far as I can tell, hardware teams
typically prefer to focus on the firmware binary rather than setting
up the software compiling environment.

It's not register values, it's register offset/ CSR number.

Yes, but we needn't reg, here. It should be:

cpurst {

Thx for debugging.
