What does 0 represent here? A register address within 'elbasr' device?

Why do you need a child node for this? Are there other sub-devices and
your binding is incomplete? Just put '#reset-cells' in the parent.

You can't reuse the same compatible to represent different things.

As this is a Lattice RD1173, I would expect a compatible based on that.

Removed, I recall a check threw a warning or error without reg.

Without a reset-controller node and booting the function
__of_reset_control_get(...) fails to find a match in the list here

        list_for_each_entry(r, &reset_controller_list, list) {
                if (args.np == r->of_node) {
                        rcdev = r;
                        break;
                }
        }

where in sdhci_cdns_probe(...) this lookup fails

        priv->rst_hw = devm_reset_control_get_optional_exclusive(dev,
"hw");

which results in a non-functioning mmc hardware reset.

A userspace utility understands how to program this internal flash. 
Changed to system-controller@3

Then you should rather reference spi-peripheral-props just like other
SPI devices.

That's not actually the answer to the question. There was no concerns
whether you need or not reset controller. The question was why do you
need a child device instead of elbasr being the reset controller.

Your answer does not cover this at all, so again - why do you need a
child for this?

If the parent becomes a reset-controller compatible with
"amd,pensando-elbasr-reset" then the /dev node will not be created
as there is no match to "amd,pensando-elbasr" for cs0.  For cs0 internal
to linux the reset-controller manages one register bit to hardware reset
the mmc device.  A userspace application opens the device node to manage
transceiver leds, system leds, reporting temps to host, other reset
controls, etc.  Looking at future requirements there likely will be other
child devices.

Going down this path with one compatible should reset-elbasr.c just be
deleted and fold it into the parent driver pensando-elbasr.c? Then I
wonder if it even belongs in drivers/mfd and should just be modified
and put in drivers/spi.

Brad

Why /dev node will not be created? How bindings affect having or not
having something in /dev ?

You mean "amd,pensando-elbasr" will instantiate some more devices? Why
you cannot add the binding for them now? This is actually important
because earlier we agreed you remove unit address from children.

How is it related to bindings?

The compatible "amd,pensando-elbasr" is matched in
drivers/mfd/pensando-elbasr.c
which creates /dev/pensr0.<cs> for spi chip-selects defined in the
parent node as:

        num-cs = <4>;
        cs-gpios = <0>, <0>, <&porta 1 GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW>,
                   <&porta 7 GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW>;

The compatible "amd,pensando-elbasr-reset" is in
drivers/reset/reset-elbasr.c
which uses regmap to control one bit in the function at cs0 to hardware
reset the eMMC.
This is the reason for the reset-controller child and the two driver
files.  The
probe in drivers/mfd/pensando-elbasr.c is called 4 times, once per spi
chip-select
and for cs0 mfd_add_devices() is called for the reset controller.

I'll change "rstc: reset-controller@0" to "rstc: reset-controller".

Maybe I've gotten off track following what looked like an appropriate model
to follow ("altr,a10sr") that was initially added in 2017 and has the same
device topology which is SoC <= spi => CPLD/FPGA where a10sr has a 3rd
driver
file for a gpio controller resulting in two child nodes.

In our case its not one function its four in the device where the function
at chip-select 0 is where the hardware team provided the bit to control
eMMC hardware reset.  Is this a bad approach to follow and if so please
recommend an acceptable approach.  Also, "amd,pensando-elbasr" will not
instantiate more devices.

Snippets below for a10sr in linux-next: Device on other end of spi,
one chip select, two child devices and 3 driver files in mfd, reset, and
gpio.

In comparision, the pensando device is also on the other end of spi,
four chip selects with /dev created for each for userspace control,
and one child device on cs0 for hw reset emmc that the Linux block
layer controls (single bit managed only by kernel).

Does not matter really... We do not talk about driver, but about
hardware and bindings.

You did not provide reason. You described Linux driver implementation
which we do not talk about. We talk about bindings, which are not really
related to implementation (at least in most cases).

I know Linux drivers. No need to paste them here. They are unrelated to

You replied with quite a response of which 90% is unrelated talk about
driver. Please be specific. We talk here only about hardware.

Your last DTS might be the answer, but you never explicitly wrote it...
So let's check if I understand it correctly. Only some of elbasr block
contain reset control?

This however does not answer my questions before.... You keep ignoring
them. So please answer yes or no:

"Are there other sub-devices?"
" and your binding is incomplete?"

and a new question:
"Is reset block (amd,pensando-elbasr-reset) re-usable so it will appear
in different device (not in amd,pensando-elbasr)?"

Because from what you wrote you should just put reset-cells in the parent...

Krzysztof

Yes, only the elbasr block accessed on CS0 provides reset control.  The
other 3 blocks don't have any reset control and never will.

No its not re-usable

I see, that could explain the subnode. However:
1. You still do not use any resources in the subnode (it does not have
any in DT).

2. Your driver instantiates subdevice not based on existing of subnode
or characteristics of a device (e.g. compatible), but on hard-coded
chip-select line. The reset driver directly takes parent's regmap - no
other resources.

Therefore this does not look like dedicated piece of hardware and should
be just part of parent node.
