Most maintainers don't take patches without a proper description.
./scripts/checkpatch.pl this.patch states:
WARNING: Missing commit description - Add an appropriate one

I suggest something like:
"Compared to the A1 SoCs the number of RESET registers is different
and the offset for the level registers is the same. Add a new
compatible string and struct meson_reset_param to add support for the
reset controller on the S4 SoC."

[...]
> +        { .compatible = "amlogic,meson-s4-reset",   .data = &meson_s4_param},
checkpatch reports here:
WARNING: DT compatible string "amlogic,meson-s4-reset" appears
un-documented -- check ./Documentation/devicetree/bindings/

My suggestion is to take your previous dt-bindings patch for the reset
controller and to extend it with one entry in
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/reset/amlogic,meson-reset.yaml just
like it was done for the A1 SoC: [0]
Then take both patches (dt-binding and driver) and send them as one
series, so it's clear to the reset-maintainers and reviewers that
these patches belong together.


Best regards,
Martin
