Hi Warner,

I was thinking resets could help in general, not specifically in the =
case of trying to implement a generic ohci_fdt driver.

As I already mentioned to you off-list (and in order for this message to =
possibly make some more sense), I saw that Linux makes use of the =
=E2=80=98resets=E2=80=99 property and looked at the documentation for =
it:
=
https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/Documentation/devicetree/bin=
dings/reset/reset.txt =
<https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/Documentation/devicetree/bi=
ndings/reset/reset.txt>

For example, with the work I am currently doing on Ralink/Mediatek =
support, I have over 10 different chips in the same family, that have =
very similar peripheral blocks, but their clocks and resets are =
controlled via different bits in one of the SysCtl registers (the =
register itself is at the same offset within the SysCtl block of each =
chip). So I may have chip X which has its USB (for example) reset =
controlled by bit 10 and chip Y with USB reset controlled by bit 12.

So being able to write something like:
	resets =3D <&sysctl 10>;
or
	resets =3D <&sysctl 11>;

in my dts/dtsi files helps me immensely, instead of having to check what =
chip I am running on and based on that use a different register =
layout=E2=80=A6
Then, if I wanted to (de)assert reset for a peripheral block that has =
this property defined I=E2=80=99d just do fdt_reset_(de)assert_all(dev), =
where dev is the device_t for the peripheral in question. This would =
(de)assert all reset pins associated with the peripheral.

The same is the case for clock control (gating) in the Ralink/Mediatek =
SoCs and this is the main reason I used fdt_clock that is already in =
sys/dev/fdt and then thought about implementing the fdt_reset based on =
it.

I hope this clarifies a bit my reason for submitting the fdt_reset =
patch.

Best wishes
Stanislav

and also, I have some (vague-ish) plans to see if I can implement =

standard ehci/ohci controllers can reuse these.
