The reg entries you have in the example below has different format
compared to this?

> +Reset node declaration
> +==============================================
> +The reset node is declared in a parent child relationship.  The main parent
> +is the PRCM module which contains the base address.  The first child within
> +the reset parent declares the target modules reset name.  This is followed by
> +the control and status offsets.
> +
> +Within the first reset child node is a secondary child node which declares the
> +reset signal of interest.  Under this node the control and status bits
> +are declared.  These bits declare the bit mask for the target reset.
> +
> +
> +Required properties:
> +reg - This is the register offset from the PRCM parent.
> +	This must be declared as:
> +
> +	reg = <control register offset>,
> +		  <status register offset>;
> +
> +control-bit - This is the bit within the register which controls the reset
> +	of the target module.  This is declared as a bit mask for the register.
> +status-bit - This is the bit within the register which contains the status of
> +	the reset of the target module.
> +	This is declared as a bit mask for the register.
> +
> +example:
> +&prm_resets {
> +	dsp_rstctrl {
> +		reg = <0x1c00>,
> +			  <0x1c04>;

Shouldn't this be start and size instead of start and end here?

> +		dsp_reset: dsp_reset {
> +			control-bit = <0x01>;
> +			status-bit = <0x01>;
> +		};

Are the control-bit and status-bit always the same? If so, you can
keep that knowlede private to the the driver.

And maybe you can have the bit offset in a reg property here to
avoid adding any custom properties? Something like:

	dsp_reset: reset at 1 {
		reg = 1;
	};

If reg is not suitable for that, it seems that some generic property
to describe the bit offset is needed by quite a few drivers
anyways, for things like clocks and regulators. 

> +Client Node Declaration

> +phandle - This is the phandle of the specific reset to be used by the clien
> +	driver.
> +reset-names - This is the reset name of module that the device driver
> +	needs to be able to reset.  This value must correspond to a value within

This part looks OK to me, not sure if we need the reset-names property
if we have one already why not.
