The problem is that there are no bindings for the reset controller
(actually the reset controller feature of the system-controller) yet.
Yeah, we can just add #reset-cells = <1> to the system-controller
device node, but we cannot add the actual resets properties to the
consumers, until the actual cell values are defined.

In personal conversations with technical people, I call myself a hacker. But
when I'm talking to journalists I just say "programmer" or something like that.
