Hi Arnd,
Could I do smth additional to make bindings explanation more clear?
Or this is enough?
I can write like the following:
Optional properties:
- ti,soft-reset: Boolean option indicating soft reset.
By default hard reset is used.
- ti,wdt_list: WDT list that can cause SoC reset. This is not
related to WDT driver, it's just needed to enable
a SoC related reset that is triggered by one of
watchdogs.
The list in format: <0>, <2>;
Begins from 0 to 3, as keystone can contain up
to 4 SoC reset watchdogs. Can be in random order.
That is OK?
