I was not able to find "reboot reason", you probably refer to "reboot
mode".

Reboot Mode:
 Purpose: Dictates how the system should reboot (e.g., normal, recovery,
   bootloader).
 Usage: Provides instructions for the next boot mode.
 Scenario: Utilized in planned reboots or software-triggered reset scenarios.

PSCR (Power State Change Reasons):
 Purpose: Logs the reason behind a power state change (e.g., voltage drop,
   over-temperature).
 Usage: Used for rapid logging and post-event analysis, potentially informing
   automatic decision-making in subsequent boots.
 Scenario: Critical in abrupt power-down situations where immediate, detailed
   decision-making is not possible.

Oleksij
