The compatible "amd,pensando-elbasr" is matched in
drivers/mfd/pensando-elbasr.c
which creates /dev/pensr0.<cs> for spi chip-selects defined in the
parent node as:
num-cs = <4>;
cs-gpios = <0>, <0>, <&porta 1 GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW>,
<&porta 7 GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW>;
The compatible "amd,pensando-elbasr-reset" is in
drivers/reset/reset-elbasr.c
which uses regmap to control one bit in the function at cs0 to hardware
reset the eMMC.
This is the reason for the reset-controller child and the two driver
files. The
probe in drivers/mfd/pensando-elbasr.c is called 4 times, once per spi
chip-select
and for cs0 mfd_add_devices() is called for the reset controller.
I'll change "rstc: reset-controller at 0" to "rstc: reset-controller".
Maybe I've gotten off track following what looked like an appropriate model
to follow ("altr,a10sr") that was initially added in 2017 and has the same
device topology which is SoC <= spi => CPLD/FPGA where a10sr has a 3rd
driver
file for a gpio controller resulting in two child nodes.
In our case its not one function its four in the device where the function
at chip-select 0 is where the hardware team provided the bit to control
eMMC hardware reset. Is this a bad approach to follow and if so please
recommend an acceptable approach. Also, "amd,pensando-elbasr" will not
instantiate more devices.
Snippets below for a10sr in linux-next: Device on other end of spi,
one chip select, two child devices and 3 driver files in mfd, reset, and
gpio.

In comparision, the pensando device is also on the other end of spi,
four chip selects with /dev created for each for userspace control,
and one child device on cs0 for hw reset emmc that the Linux block
layer controls (single bit managed only by kernel).
Pensando:
&spi0 {
num-cs = <4>;
cs-gpios = <0>, <0>, <&porta 1 GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW>,
<&porta 7 GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW>;
status = "okay";

reg = <0>;
#address-cells = <1>;
#size-cells = <0>;
spi-max-frequency = <12000000>;
rstc: reset-controller {
compatible = "amd,pensando-elbasr-reset";
#reset-cells = <1>;
};
};
system-controller at 1 {
compatible = "amd,pensando-elbasr";
reg = <1>;
spi-max-frequency = <12000000>;
};
system-controller at 2 {
compatible = "amd,pensando-elbasr";
reg = <2>;
spi-max-frequency = <12000000>;
interrupt-parent = <&porta>;
interrupts = <0 IRQ_TYPE_LEVEL_LOW>;
};
system-controller at 3 {
compatible = "amd,pensando-elbasr";
reg = <3>;
spi-max-frequency = <12000000>;
};
};
