I'm very sorry about this.
But I found a binding file that only contains Reg and Compatible.

rtc at 80920000 {
compatible = "cirrus,ep9301-rtc";
reg = <0x80920000 0x100>;
};

Link: Documentation/devicetree/bindings/rtc/cirrus,ep9301-rtc.yaml

You are right, if there is no por device tree node, how can the por
driver obtain the Reg?
Thank you again.
