Got it. Will delete amlogic,t7-reset.h and use the hardware numbers
directly in the DT.

Hi Neil,
As you know, Amlogic reset controller is divided into several groups: 
reset0, reset1, ..., resetN. I'd like to discuss the rationality of 
splitting the one device node of reset controller into device nodes 
according to the groups. Then we can use the bit number within the 
'resets' property.
reset0: reset-controller at 2000 {
...
};

reset1: reset-controller at 2004 {
...
};
...

What do you think?
Thanks!
