[v3,0/2] Expose reset reason through sysfs

Message

Hello,

Back in 2019, my colleague Kamel did try to upstream a small change in
the at91 reset driver, in order to expose the reset reason through sysfs
instead of expecting userland to grep through dmesg to get it. There was
basically no strong reason opposed to it, besides minor changes which
needed fixing. 4 years ago I am seeing again the need for such exposure,
so here is Kamel's patch with the minor comments addressed, as well as a
small cleanup just before.

Cheers,
Miquèl

Changes in v3:
* Made the series bisectable.
* Updated the date and kernel version for this new feature.
* Changed a few definitions as discussed with Sebastian.

Changes in v2:
* Collected Nicolas' Acked-by
* Dropped the Xtal frequency information (as this may change between
  platforms of course).
