+T-HEAD Fdt Reset Driver Introduction
+------------------------------------
+
+Every T-HEAD CPU provides a reset control signal and reset address signals.
+ - Reset address signal determines CPU where to start up.
+ - Reset control signal releases CPU from reset state and begins to execute
+   at reset address.
+
+Many vendors would gather these signals into SoC control registers. These
+register designs are similar but with different base addresses and bits
+definitions. We only provide standard opensbi, Linux binaries, and jtag gdbinit
+script to simplify Linux booting at the FPGA stage. The fdt reset driver helps
+users bring up their SMP system quickly with the below settings:
+DT maintainers and DT list.

I can submit a dt-binding for this if DT maintainers agree with below
properties. Could you please help review?
I already reviewed this once & nothing has improved.
In fact, things have gotten worse IMO with this "using-csr-reset" that I
don't think existed in the original iteration that I saw.
I did see things getting better with the use of standard stuff like
"reg" in our earlier discussion which I don't see here.

It's not a patch to improve the implementation and we don't make a
deal in that discussion. This patch improves the document because the
previous doc didn't describe the whole thing about the
thead,reset-sample driver.
That's all well and good, but there's still no point in Rob, Krzysztof
or I reviewing it, which is what was being requested in the email I was
replying to.
We aim not to deliver any custom software binaries to our CPU
customers. Only generic opensbi & Linux images are all enough at the
prototype stage.

What is the point in carrying out any further review if things will be
flat out ignored?
