+Generic reboot mode core map driver
+
+This driver get reboot mode arguments and call the write
+interface to stores the magic value in special register
+or ram . Then the bootloader can read it and take different
+action according to the argument stored.
+
+Required properties:
+- compatible: only support "syscon-reboot-mode" now.
+
+Each mode is represented as a sub-node of reboot_mode:
+
+Subnode required properties:
+- linux,mode: reboot mode command,such as "loader", "recovery", "fastboot".
+- loader,magic: magic number for the mode, this is vendor specific.
+
+Example:
+       reboot_mode {
+               compatible = "syscon-reboot-mode";
+               offset = <0x40>;
+
+               loader {
+                       linux,mode = "loader";
+                       loader,magic = <BOOT_LOADER>;
+               };
+
+               maskrom {
+                       linux,mode = "maskrom";
+                       loader,magic = <BOOT_MASKROM>;
+               };
+
+               recovery {
+                       linux,mode = "recovery";
+                       loader,magic = <BOOT_RECOVERY>;
+               };
+
+               fastboot {
+                       linux,mode = "fastboot";
+                       loader,magic = <BOOT_FASTBOOT>;
+               };
+        };
So one minor thought here. While the commands are somewhat vendor
specific, would it be a good idea for the example commands to match
the common commands on Android devices?  For example, usually
"bootloader" is what gets you into fastboot mode on nexus devices.

   When I run the "adb help" , I got the following message:
   adb reboot [bootloader|recovery] - reboots the device, optionally 
into the bootloader or recovery program
   adb reboot-bootloader        - reboots the device into the bootloader

   It  only says "adb reboot-bootloader" will reboot the device into 
bootloader, not specific to fastboot.

   I add @Simon from Google here, maybe he can give some suggestions.
