This is the parent to the resets.  The reg entries below are for
the child reset signals.

I could do start and size.  But the size will be the same for each register.
AM33xx really hurts the consistency model here as the other patches in the series
it appears that the control and status are consistent but AM33xx the registers are all over
the place.

I have not looked at OMAP2->4 yet for control and status register offsets.

No there is a case in the am33xx resets file where the status and control bits are not the same.

I will have to look into this.  Maybe a generic entry called bit-offset
that defines the bit or a mask for the registers.  It can mimic the reg
entry.

reset-names are part of the reset.txt file.  I could probably drop the resets and reset-name information here
and point to the reset.txt file for further explanation.
