PSCI currently supports only two resets - SYSTEM_RESET and SYSTEM_RESET2
ARCH WARM reset. The reset patch is selected based on the Linux
reboot_mode variable. The PSCI specification now includes SYSTEM_RESET2
for vendor-specific resets but there's no mechanism to issue these
through psci_sys_reset().

Add a command-based reset mechanism that allows external drivers to set
the PSCI reset command by passing a reset_type and a cookie.

Add support for the following reset commands:
- SYSTEM_RESET2 vendor-specific resets.
- SYSTEM_RESET2 ARCH WARM reset and SYSTEM_RESET (reset_type = 0 and
cookie maps to psci_standard_resets).
Unsupported commands fall back to the regular PSCI reset path.

Default to the existing reboot_mode-based reset flow unless a reset
command is configured. If a kernel panic occurs after a reset command is
set but before the final PSCI reset is issued, ignore the reset command
and follow the normal reboot_mode-based reset path.

Do we want to add namespace based restriction on who gets to import
EXPORTs added in this patch?

you mean like
EXPORT_SYMBOL_NS_GPL(psci_has_system_reset2_support, PSCI);?

What is `_START` significance in PSCI_1_1_RESET_TYPE_VENDOR_START macro?

Its the 31st bit that decides if its valid vendor reset.

The very same comment is present in the implementation of this function.
Please fix it.

sure.
