From: Claudiu Beznea <claudiu.beznea.uj@bp.renesas.com>

The RZ/G3S System controller has registers to control signals that need
to be de-asserted/asserted before/after different SoC areas are power
on/off. This signals are implemented as reset signals. For this document
the #reset-cells property.

Given this is new required property on an existing platform, I'd expect
some mention of why it used to be okay to not have this but is now
required. Did firmware or a bootloader stage take things out of reset?

On previous SoCs the SYS controller has no support for controlling the
signals going to different peripherals (USB, PCIE in case of RZ/G3S).
I'll add a note about this on next version.

My initial thought here wasn't about previous SoCs though, it was
because you didn't add the compatible in this series for /this/ SoC.

RZ/G3S compatible is already present in this file:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/Documentation/devicetree/bindings/soc/renesas/renesas,rzg2l-sysc.yaml#n26

I know, first thing I did when I read the original patch was open the
file ;)
I don't care about the old SoCs, cos you're not applying the property to
them, so what's changed between SoCs isn't really relevant. It's a mention
of why, on this SoC, it is safe to add new required properties that I want.

AFAIU the answer is that no consumer of the resets existed before, so
there's not some special state there, and I am guessing that the new
sysc driver you're adding isn't going to fail to probe if there are no
resets, it just won't register a reset controller? Which is fine, cos all
devicetrees that have the new peripherals will have #reset-cells etc.

What's worth noting isn't about the prior SoCs, it is about what makes
it okay for this one.
