Yes, in those cases (which are probably most of them), I would argue
this binding doesn't really fit.

I think the motivation is to not have to add a new binding document and
modify reset-simple.c every time there is a new SoC. I wonder if some
of this can be mitigated by adding just the binding document similar to
trivial-devices.yaml, without the actual "reset-simple" compatible.
