After all, we have that priority for a reason, it doesn't makes sense having all of them at a common default. As mentioned in an other reply, I think it is especially reasonable to configure the syscon-reboot driver a bit higher, since this driver is more likely to be used for a dedicated reboot feature provided by the SoC, which usually is the preferred one. If it happens one day that a SoC ends up with conflicting priorities or other priority odds, we can add the DT support then... What do you think, can I go with that for now?
