Now tell me, what sort of new information comes with this description?
"Phandle"? It cannot be anything else. Redundant. "Pointing to"?
Redundant. "reset-controller"? Well, resets always point to reset
controller.

So what is the point of this description? Any point?

It's over complicated. First maxItems are redundant, because you define
number of items in items. Second, you have EXACTLY the same case as the
hardware for which I gave you bindings to use. I don't understand why
you insist on doing things differently, but you can. Take a look at many
other bindings how they achieve this - there are many, many examples.
But do not invent third or fourth method...

Best regards,
Krzysztof
