Is there a particular motivation for this (e.g. new handlers you plan to
register elsewhere)?

Do we really still need to call the registration on a per-board basis, now
that boards have a way of registering a higher-priority notifier? ÂCan't we
just have setup_rstcr() do the registration when it finds the appropriate
device tree node?

When would this ever get called from a module?
