Yeah, the default is SYSRESET_COLD.

Additionally, there is only support for warm rst type (SYSRESET_WARM) in
do_reset for now.

I decided not to implement it to keep it as simple as possible and in
sync with your Linux support.

You read my mind :)

I have support for get_status() already prepared but I am waiting for
this patch to get applied first.

Your Reviewed-by tag would help here if possible?

You're welcome.

Thanks for adding support in Linux.
