Hi,

Thanks for the patch!

There is support dumping reset reason in U-Boot for AM64x:
https://elixir.bootlin.com/u-boot/v2026.01/source/arch/arm/mach-k3/am64x/boot.c#L107

This conflicts with kernel as U-Boot currently clears the RST_SRC after read (Its
necessary to do so, to detect additional resets at bootloader level). So, this
information would be lost by the time kernel driver comes up.

Is there a usecase where kernel can make use of reset reason information exposed
via this driver? If so, the driver should at least take a cmdline param from
bootloader in order to overcome above issue.
