Yes, Now passing the cookie value is mandatory, when defining your "reset-types".
So your device tree entry should be:
mode-powercycle = <0x01 0>;
Please try by passing changing the dt entry as above.
The dt-binding document is updated and does talks about the mandatory cookie
to be passed in reset-type.
