sysreset: Add TI System Control Interface (TI SCI) sysreset driver
Devices from the TI K3 family of SoCs like the AM654x contain a Device Management and Security Controller (SYSFW) that manages the low-level device control (like clocks, resets etc) for the various hardware modules present on the SoC. These device control operations are provided to the host processor OS through a communication protocol called the TI System Control Interface (TI SCI) protocol. This patch adds a system reset driver that communicates to the system controller over the TI SCI protocol for allowing to perform a system- wide SoC reset.

+Texas Instruments TI SCI System Reset Controller
+================================================
+
+Some TI SoCs contain a system controller (like the SYSFW, etc...) that is
+responsible for controlling the state of the IPs that are present.
+Communication between the host processor running an OS and the system
+controller happens through a protocol known as TI SCI [1].
+
+[1] http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/TISCI
+
+System Reset Controller Node
+============================
+The sysreset controller node represents the reset for the overall SoC
+which is managed by the SYSFW. Because this relies on the TI SCI protocol
+to communicate with the SYSFW it must be a child of the sysfw node.
+
+Required Properties:
+--------------------
+ - compatible: Must be "ti,sci-sysreset"
+
+Example (AM65x):
+----------------
+ sysfw: sysfw {
+ compatible = "ti,am654-system-controller";
+ ...
+ k3_sysreset: sysreset-controller {
+ compatible = "ti,sci-sysreset";
+ };
+ };
