Thanks for this information, I changed source to under drivers/
power/reset.

May I reserve the "reset-init" and ""reset-end" properties? As
some boards use power line off to reset device. The power line
is active high when as power but active low when as a reset signal.

Thank a lot for your reviews :) Here are fixed of version 2:
    - change location to drivers/power/reset
    - remove unused #include
    - change to use GPIO descriptor interface and use customer.h
    - free resources after issue reset. However, if a enclosing
      chip is not probled, the correpsonding reset will not send
      and memeory is still not free in this case.
    - other minor fixs

Best regards,
