Un-acked.

I looked at my archives and we did talk about it and you were CCed:

https://lore.kernel.org/linux-devicetree/c088e01c-0714-82be-8347-6140daf56640@linaro.org/
simple-reset is an exception.

So to recap:
That's not a binding. Don't add some real values to binding headers
because it is not a binding then.
