If this is just a register in the cr_periph syscon, why not put the
reset-controller node inside the cr_periph node:

    cr_periph: syscon@xyz {
        compatible = "syscon", "simple-mfd";
        pistachio_reset: reset-controller {
            compatible = "img,pistachio-reset";
            #reset-cells = <1>;
        };
    };

And in the driver use 
    syscon_node_to_regmap(np->parent);
instead of
    syscon_regmap_lookup_by_phandle(np, "img,cr-periph");
?

Do you need a reg property, or is will the register offset be 0 in all
pistachio variants?

reset-names is not needed for devices that only have one reset.
