U-Boot has actually a psci_system_reset(), it also rely on wdog1:

__secure void psci_system_reset(void)
{
	struct wdog_regs *wdog = (struct wdog_regs *)WDOG1_BASE_ADDR;

	/* make sure WDOG1 clock is enabled */
	writel(0x1 << 28, CCM_BASE_ADDR + CCM_ROOT_WDOG);
	writel(0x3, CCM_BASE_ADDR + CCM_CCGR_WDOG1);
	writew(WCR_WDE, &wdog->wcr);

	while (1)
		wfi();
}

It is also compiled in the uboot image, because if I add a syntax error in
its body the compiler tells me; anyway I think it's not called when I issue
the 'reset' command at the prompt because the 'reset' works properly even if
I comment out the whole body of the function or if I add an endless loop like
while(1); to it.

Anyway I ported it to barebox, defining a void psci_system_reset(void) in
arch/arm/mach-imx/imx7.c:

...
#define CCM_BASE_ADDR   0x30380000
#define CCM_ROOT_WDOG   0xbb80
#define CCM_CCGR_WDOG1  0x49c8
#define WCR_WDE	        0x04
#define WDOG1_WCR       0x30280000
#define wfi() __asm__ __volatile__ ("wfi" : : : "memory")

static void imx7_system_reset(void)
{
	printf("%s: called now.\n",__func__);

	// make sure WDOG1 clock is enabled
	writel(0x1 << 28, CCM_BASE_ADDR + CCM_ROOT_WDOG);
	writel(0x3, CCM_BASE_ADDR + CCM_CCGR_WDOG1);
	writew(WCR_WDE, WDOG1_WCR);

	while (1)
		wfi();
};

static struct psci_ops imx7_psci_ops = {
	.cpu_on = imx7_cpu_on,
	.cpu_off = imx7_cpu_off,
	.system_reset = imx7_system_reset,
};

and the following case to smc.c:

static int do_smc(int argc, char *argv[])
{
...
		case 'r':
			printf("issue psci reset...\n");
			arm_smccc_smc(ARM_PSCI_0_2_FN_SYSTEM_RESET,
				      0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, &res);
			printf("reset issued...\n");
			break;
...

to be able to call it.
Now, using the modified 'smc' command I can see my printf's:

samx7: / smc -n
samx7: / smc -r
issue psci reset...
psci_system_reset called.
imx7_system_reset: called now.

but the soc still just hangs.
