Why would it matter? If not shared, then the behavior should be the same.

How an OS handles reset-gpios is up to the OS. It can evolve. The binding can't evolve because it is an ABI. Also, a list is kind of broken to begin with for a "generic" binding. What's the order the lines should be asserted/deasserted? What about timing requirements? You don't know because every device is different. This binding would not be accepted now, so extending it is questionable. Rob
