Michal always turned down the #include patches with the argument of
re-using the dts files outside of the Linux sources where those includes
etc may not be available in this form.

Yeah, that was what I had in mind. Some big switch-case lookup that maps
a logical reset number from DT to the HW.
No, I haven't looked around what other drivers do. So, probably the
right thing is to just do what everybody else does.
I was more thinking about how easy it might be to re-use the driver for
the next-gen device.

Yeah, I don't think we should make things overly complicated without a
good reason. So, unless DT or reset folks have any objections, I'm fine
with it.
