This just adds an optional apb reset, it doesn't break any exisiting
ABI. Kindly let me know whether adding new optional binding is also
an ABI break.

I'm preparing one of synaptics SoCs support to uptream, it needs this
apb reset signal for i3c. So you mean I delay this series until the SoC
upstream series come, right?
