Not needed in the reset-controller node, but needed in its parent node. I am sorry
for missing description to point it out in the bindings. I will rewrite all bindings
for the next version. Unit address here should be deleted.

Definitely can. We do this is for simplifying the reset driver.
Otherwise, we may need to define more compatibles because there
are multiple reset blocks in JH7110. Another case can be found at
https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/latest/source/Documentation/devicetree/bindings/reset/altr,rst-mgr.yaml

One compatible can just be matched by one device? I think this is what
confuses me.
