Subject: [PATCH v2 0/2] support Linux reboot modes in syscon-reboot

This series teaches syscon-reboot some of Linux' different reboot
modes.

Linux supports a couple different reboot modes, but syscon-reboot
doesn't distinguish between them and issues the same syscon register
write irrespective of the reboot mode requested by the kernel.

This is a problem when platforms want to do a cold reboot most of the
time, which could e.g. wipe RAM etc, but also want to support rebooting
while keeping RAM contents in certain cases.

One example of such a platform is Google Pixel.

DTs can now specify the existing properties prefixed with one of the
Linux reboot modes. All the changes to support this are optional and
opt-in, platforms that don't, or don't specify a register/value/mask
pair for a specific mode will behave just as before.
