What about all out-of-tree platforms, bootloaders and FW?

Yeah, I know how this works.

I asked whether the hardware physically have two resets. dtbs_check
checks the DTS, not the hardware. You know allow two resets for each
other variant. What's more, you call first reset axi for all variants.
This does not look correct, e.g. k210.dtsi does not indicate this is axi
reset line but reset for entire block.

Thus your change should be constrained per your variant (min/max in
top-level, allOf:if:then allowing two lines for you, disallowing for
others).



Best regards,
Krzysztof
