PSCI implements a restart notifier for architectural defined resets.
The SYSTEM_RESET2 call allows vendor firmware to define additional reset

Implement a driver to wire the reboot-mode framework to make vendor
SYSTEM_RESET2 calls on reboot.

This is a continuation from https://lore.kernel.org/all/4a679542-b48d-7e11-f33a-63535a5c68cb@xxxxxxxxxxx/

Would appreciate being CC'd on a the non-RFC postings of this patch. FWIW, my use case is better described with this earlier submission:

It would be neat if I could leverage your driver in order to implement this custom "reboot powercycle" implementation. Towards that goal, we would likely need to specify the desired reboot "sub" operation alongside its PSCI SYSTEM_RESET2 reboot type argument?

Thanks!

I think you you want to describe the PSCI vendor reset under a warm reboot with command "powercycle"? In other words, my series only lets DT describe either reboot_mode (warm) or cmd (powercycle) but not both simultaneously?

Please correct me if I got it wrong! Otherwise, I can incorporate way to describe vendor reset type matching both reboot_mode and cmd in the DT.
