The reset-names are not only for Linux driver. In any case, Linux driver
could get always reset/clock/gpio by index, not by name.

Additionally, there can be different implementation in different
system/user of bindings.

Therefore the driver implementation does not matter (or matters little)
for the bindings, so for multi entries the reset-names are needed.

Best regards,
