Dropping this change (I'm assuming you are referring to the hunk adding
include/dt-bindings/reset/mt7988-resets.h) and also not adding that
header file using a seperate commit means that there won't be a header
defining the reset names.

The result would be having to numerically reference the specific
resets in the device tree.

This is, of course, possible, but I don't understand what the advantage
would be.
