Okay, thanks. Sounds like this SoC will have multiple reset controllers
then, since there is likely one for the peripherals too?
thead,th1520-cpu-reset seems like a good idea to me?

In this case "firmware" means opensbi, since that's where Jisheng
mentioned in their cover that they intended using this.

So "control-val" is not a value? "The value to be set into the control
reg" makes it sound oddly like one!!

My point I guess is that this entry could be written like

reset-controller@ffff019050 {
compatible = "thead,th1520-cpu-reset";
reg = <0xff 0xff019050 0xfoo 0xbar>, <0xff 0xff015004 0xfoo 0xbar>;
};

or even:

reset-controller@ffff019050 {
compatible = "thead,th1520-cpu-reset";
reg = <0xff 0xff019050 0xfoo 0xbar>, <0xff 0xff015004 0xfoo 0xbar>;
reg-names = "entry", "control";
};

And csr-copy, entry-cn and control-val can be derived from the
compatible string given you've said they are set on a per-soc basis.

I don't think it should! Firstly, "cpurst" is not a generic node name,
but I also don't agree that "control-reg" and "entry-reg" should not
just be 2 reg entries.

Cheers,
