Hi DT maintainers,

AIUI, the dw i3c explicitly says there are three reset signals in
total:
core_rstn, for core
presetn, for apb
dmareset, for dma

and I'm adding apb reset suppport, given this series has been applied,
we have three choices:

1.revert patch2 and document the "core_rst" reset dt-binding. This
equals to v1 of this series.

2.add a patch to add the "core_rst" reset, but allow no reset name

3.add a patch to add the "core" reset, but allow no reset name

Which one do you prefer?

Thanks
