Thanks, I was unfamiliar with reg <0 ...> with differences between
the nodes such as reset-cells for one and interrupts on another.
Below dts boots ok and will change binding and driver as needed.

&spi0 {
        #address-cells = <1>;
        #size-cells = <0>;
        num-cs = <4>;
        cs-gpios = <0>, <0>, <&porta 1 GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW>,
                   <&porta 7 GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW>;
        status = "okay";

        rstc: system-controller@0 {
                compatible = "amd,pensando-elbasr";
                reg = <0 1 2 3>;
                spi-max-frequency = <12000000>;
                interrupt-parent = <&porta>;
                interrupts = <0 IRQ_TYPE_LEVEL_LOW>;
                #reset-cells = <1>;
        };
};
