Bindings should describe hardware, not drivers.

What precisely does this binding describe?

Access size? Endianness?

Why can we not have a binding for the register bank this exists in, and
have that pass on the appropriate details to a syscon-reboot driver?

That way we can change the way we poke things without requiring changes
to bindings or dts.
