Since the driver behaves identically for "socionext,uniphier-pro4-usb3-
reset" and "socionext,uniphier-pro4-ahci-reset", would it make sense to
add a common compatible?
Something like:
"socionext,uniphier-pro4-usb3-reset", "socionext,uniphier-pro4-glue-reset" - for USB3 SoC AHCI
"socionext,uniphier-pro4-ahci-reset", "socionext,uniphier-pro4-glue-reset" - for Pro4 SoC AHCI

That way if more places turn up where the glue layer reset is used,
you can add them without patching the driver every time.

Philipp
