I would rather use a different name for the reset functions which are in
the startup code. In the end the reset command just resets the board.
'reboot' sounds like something is being shutdown before restarting a
board.

Changing a command is quite painful since all environment scripts will
be broken. I don't think reset is used in the environment, but the
API change to the mount command always nags me when using a new barebox
which has an older environment in flash. I think we really have to be
more careful when changing commands.
