I'll add a property to indicate set-to-enable in v2. How about:

- reset-set-assert: Specifies that the bit should be set to assert
the reset. The default is to set the bit to deassert the reset.

I'm sure we can find a better way to write that.

I'll add a note that the bits are not auto-clearing, and therefore
they can be read back. This is in the spirit of trying to describe a
basic reset controller.

Ok.

You're suggesting I add a hardware-specific string in addition to the
generic reset-basic? eg:

compatible = "aspeed,uart-rest", "reset-basic";

I don't think that helps anyone. We don't do that for eg.
timeriomem-rng or gpio-fan. Or perhaps I've misunderstood your
suggestion?

Ok.
