Thanks a lot for picking up this topic! It has been annoying me
for a while and I have submitted an experimental patch some time
ago, but not finished it myself.

For some reason, I only see a subset of your patches here (patch 1, 4 and 6),
so I don't know exactly what you did. For reference, you can find
my original patch below. Please check if I did things that your
series doesn't do, and whether those are still needed.

All the patches CCed linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org,
so you can dig into LKML log or the following patchwork
https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/LKML/list/

Thanks.

Yours looks mostly nice, and this work is worth continuing.
(I am pleased to review it when you submit the next version.)

I have some comments.

[1]
Why is ARCH_HAS_RESET_CONTROLLER select'ed by
ARCH_MULTIPLATFORM, but not by others?
This seems weird.

We do not have such options like
  ARCH_HAS_PINCTRL,  ARCH_HAS_COMMON_CLK...


[2]
The difference is that yours is adding per-driver options such as
RESET_SOCFPGA, RESET_BERLIN, etc.
I think this is a good idea.

But, I notice lowlevel drivers select RESET_CONTROLLER,
for example, RESET_SOCFPGA select RESET_CONTROLLER.

We generally do the opposite in other subsystems, I think.


For example, the whole of clk menu is guarded by "depends on COMMON_CLK".

menu "Common Clock Framework"
         depends on COMMON_CLK

     <bunch of low-level drivers>

endmenu


Likewise for pinctrl.
