Kind of a weak justification. The intent was for the names to be a key,
not a multi word description which your example seems to be. Is
"dm-verity device corrupted" something Android has already standardized
on?

+Eric/Sami to comment further

I wonder if you're thinking it's better to change the kernel_restart in dm-verity-target.c?

Alternatively, I could respin so that spaces in the reboot cmd is replaced with "-" in reboot_mode_notify(). This way, there is no need to change dm-verity driver or change devicetree schema. i.e.:

It should be either/or in my opinion, not both.

OK, I can fix in the next patch.

For example, modes common Android platform are:
- normal: Normal reboot mode, system reboot with command "reboot".
- recovery: Android Recovery mode, it is a mode to format the device or update a new image.
