[PATCH v2 2/4] power: reset: add PSCRR NVMEM recorder

From: Faruque Ansari

Date: Wed Aug 19 2026 - 13:38:03 EST


Record the power state change reason into a small NVMEM cell (an RTC
scratch register or EEPROM) and read it back on the next boot, so the
cause survives a power cycle. The cell is a plain nvmem consumer
reference and the reason value is stored directly.
