I had something very similar to this when I was developing this driver but moved away from this.

Following the clocks implementation I had a separate dtsi for resets for each device and had the data defined like so
for each SoC.

&prcm_resets {
       device_reset: device_reset {
               rstctrl_offs = <0x1104>;
               ctrl_bit-shift = <0>;
               rstst_offs      = <0x1114>;
               sts_bit-shift   = <0>;
       };

       gpu_reset: gpu_reset {
               rstctrl_offs = <0x0D00>;
               ctrl_bit-shift = <3>;
               rstst_offs      = <0x0D0C>;
               sts_bit-shift = <5>;
       };
};

And then any client interested in a specific reset driver would include this

resets = <&prcm_resets &gpu_reset>;
reset-names = "gpu_reset";

Our reset code would then retrieve the register data through the phandle instead of an index.

Thoughts?
