I think, there is a recent discussion from Sudeep for the SYSTEM_RESET2 
support.

Hi Sudeep,

I was going through your discussion in the below list -
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/d73d3580-4ec1-a281-4585-5c776fc08c79@xilinx.com/

There is no provision to set up reboot mode dynamically instead kernel 
command line parameter.
Looking for options to reboot device with warm reboot option when kernel 
crashed.

panic() --> emergency_restart() --> machine_emergency_restart() --> 
machine_restart(NULL);

It would nice if there is a config option to reboot the device either in 
warm or cold in the case of kernel panic.
Calling machine_restart with a NULL parameter for kernel crash is 
leading to devices cold reboot.

-Thanks, Prasad
