I am fine with keeping them separate, if you think this best describes
the hardware.

I had declared gaps as out of scope of the simple reset controller
driver, but if the implementation could be kept reasonably simple, we
could think about supporting something like this, too:

		reset: reset-controller@98000000 {
			compatible = "realtek,rtd1295-reset";
			reg = <0x98000000 0xc>, <0x98000050 0x4>;
			#reset-cells = <1>;
		};
