there's 1:1 mapping between the ID and bit. Some bits are reserved, I.E
no actions at all. Is "ID start at 0 and increment by 1" documented
in some docs? From another side, I also notice some SoCs especially
those which make use of reset-simple driver don't strictly follow
this rule, for example, amlogic,meson-a1-reset.h and so on. What
happened?

And I'd like to ask a question here before cooking 2nd version:
if the HW programming logic is the same as reset-simple, but some
or many bits are reserved, what's the can-be-accepted way to support
the reset controller? Use reset-simple? Obviously if we want the
"ID start at 0 and increment by 1" rule, then we have to write
a custom driver which almost use the reset-simple but with a
customized mapping.

Thanks
