Realtek switches can now be reset using a reset controller.
The switch could always be reset using a reset controller. The fact that
the Linux driver lacked the ability to do so is irrelevant here. The
abilities or the features of the hardware had never changed. You should get
rid of the "now" above.
The 'reset-gpios' were never mandatory for the driver, although they
are required for some devices if the switch reset was left asserted by
a previous driver, such as the bootloader.
dt-bindings are for documenting hardware. The Linux driver details are
irrelevant here. Also, from what I read above, I deduce that for the switch
to be properly controlled in all possible states that it would be found in,
the switch must be reset.
So instead of above I'd say:
Resetting the switch is mandatory. Resetting the switch with reset-gpios is
not mandatory. Therefore require one of reset-gpios or resets and
reset-names.
For dt-bindings changes, I'd remove reset-gpios from else of
if:required:reg as you already do with this patch, and add below to the
root of the schema.
oneOf:
- required:
- reset-gpios
- required:
- resets
- reset-names
And, like Vladimir said, this should be a separate patch.
Also, please put the dt-bindings patches first in the patch series order.
