Why do we need/want this? What problem does it solve?

A bit too generic for the name.

default: 192


Though I'm not really sure about the whole concept of this in DT. Where
does 192 come from? Presumably if we have more than 1 reset device, then
'priority' is needed in multiple places. So you need a common schema
defining the property (as property types should be defined exactly
once) which this schema can reference.
