I know, first thing I did when I read the original patch was open the
file ;)
I don't care about the old SoCs, cos you're not applying the property to
them, so what's changed between SoCs isn't really relevant. It's a mention
of why, on this SoC, it is safe to add new required properties that I want.

AFAIU the answer is that no consumer of the resets existed before, so
there's not some special state there, and I am guessing that the new
sysc driver you're adding isn't going to fail to probe if there are no
resets, it just won't register a reset controller? Which is fine, cos all
devicetrees that have the new peripherals will have #reset-cells etc.
