I would like to do this last part, but not requiring a binding change. 
IOW, be able to register any 'reset-gpios' property as a reset provider 
directly without this added level of indirection.

This is odd. Do you have some examples of h/w needing this done signal? 
It certainly doesn't seem like something we have a generic need for.

There's a reason we don't have all these timing values in DT. The timing 
requirements are defined by each device (being reset) and implied by 
their compatible strings. If we wanted a macro language for power 
sequence timings of regulators, clocks, resets, enables, etc., then we 
would have designed such a thing already.
