Look at the history and you will see one was reviewed by DT
maintainers and one wasn't.

Which is what I'm asking for. Where else in the tree does it make
sense to locate the 'syscon-reboot-mode' node? Locate nodes where they
logically belong.

There's plenty of bad or "don't follow current best practice" examples
in the tree for all sorts of things. That is not a reason for doing
something in a new binding or adding to an existing one.
