Thanks for your contribution, however the reset button is not always
connected to this GPIO. At least on the Mirabox I have the reset button
triggers an hardware reset. My concern is that for some board the dts
representation would be wrong.

I am not really against this patch, first because it is possible that the
board I got was an exception, but as we don't have any feedback from GlobalScale,
it is hard to figure out. Then, I am not sure that exposing this reset button
when it was not trigger by software was a problem. I have to test it and also
think about it.

I would like to have the opinion of other people about it.


Thanks,

Gregory
