[PATCH v2 00/14] reset: major reset core refactoring

From: Bartosz Golaszewski

Date: Mon Feb 23 2026 - 05:09:40 EST


Here is the promised refactoring of the reset core. The main goal of the
series is to make the reset subsystem fwnode-agnostic - meaning it can
work with all kinds of firmware nodes instead of being OF-centric - but
there are some other related changes in here as well. I'm sending it all
out for review to give Phillipp a better picture of the end result but
individual pieces can be picked up earlier if accepted.

The series is logically split into several parts:

Patches 1-5: Several reset-gpio improvements. Most are not very
controversial but I included a reworked version of the patch adding a
firmware device link between the auxiliary reset device and its
consumers.

Patches 6-7: Just general improvements.

Patch 8: Before we support all firmware nodes (even software nodes for
which no devlinks are created) we need to make sure reset drivers can
survive a sudden unbinding of the supplier with consumers still holding
references to the controller. This patch addresses it using SRCU.

Patches 9,10: Rework locking in reset core. Make locking fine-grained
instead of using a single global lock for everything.

Patches 11-14: Make reset core use fwnode as primary source of
device properties and references. Convert reset-gpio to becoming the
first fwnode-agnostic driver.
