Hi Krzysztof,
Thanks for your comments and time.
Regarding snps,dw-apb-timers-pwm2, we previously intended to add the
resets property in the same patch.
However, as you suggested, we will split it into a separate patch.

Will fix in the next version.

Based on your comments, we will split this patch into two. One patch
explains why we add the resets property, and the other adds the eswin
compatible string and the limit for resets.
