Subject: [PATCH v4 3/3] powerpc: dts: turris1x.dts: Set lower priority for CPLD syscon-reboot

Due to CPLD firmware bugs, set CPLD syscon-reboot priority level to 64
(between rstcr and watchdog) to ensure that rstcr's global-utilities reset
method which is preferred stay as default one, and to ensure that CPLD
syscon-reboot is more preferred than watchdog reset method.
