+STMicroelectronics STM32 Peripheral Reset Controller
+====================================================
+
+The RCC IP is both a reset and a clock controller. This documentation only
+documents the reset part.
+
+Please also refer to reset.txt in this directory for common reset
+controller binding usage.
+
+Required properties:
+- compatible: Should be "st,stm32-rcc"
+- reg: should be register base and length as documented in the
+ datasheet
+- #reset-cells: 1, see below
+
+example:
+
+rcc: reset@40023800 {
+ #reset-cells = <1>;
+ compatible = "st,stm32-rcc";
+ reg = <0x40023800 0x400>;
+};
+
+Specifying softreset control of devices
+=======================================
+
+Device nodes should specify the reset channel required in their "resets"
+property, containing a phandle to the reset device node and an index specifying
+which channel to use.
+The index is the bit number within the RCC registers bank, starting from RCC
+base address.
+It is calculated as: index = register_offset / 4 * 32 + bit_offset.
+Where bit_offset is the bit offset within the register.
+For example, for CRC reset:
+ crc = AHB1RSTR_offset / 4 * 32 + CRCRST_bit_offset = 0x10 / 4 * 32 + 12 = 140
+
+To simplify the usagen and to share bit definition with the clock driver of
+the RCC IP, macros are available to generate the index in human-readble
+format.
+
+For STM32F4 series, the macro are available here:
+ - include/dt-bindings/mfd/stm32f4-rcc.h
+
+example:
+
+ timer2 {
+ resets = <&rcc STM32F4_APB1_RESET(TIM2)>;
+ };
+
+
