Subject: Re: [PATCH v2] reset: Exclusive resets must be dedicated to a
 single hardware block

Hi Geert,

Thank you for the patch. I'd still like to hear the device tree
maintainers' (added to Cc:) opinion on parsing the whole DT for "resets"
phandle properties to find shared resets like this.

I suppose it is very unlikely to get false positives where an arbitrary
node contains a "resets" property that looks like a proper phandle to an
actual reset-controller node.
Are we allowed though to scan the whole tree for "resets" properties
regardless of the nodes' bindings or compatible properties like this?

Emitting a loud warning here could be very helpful if it contains
both the reset controller node and the reset index, as well as the
consumer nodes: node and node2.
