Yes, that's the goal, however I doubt currently we achieved such goal.

Using "Fixes: fabb2b4c7f28 ("dm: sysreset: x86: Add a sysreset
driver")" misleads people, as you are not using the default
configuration. If we want to support such random build for sysreset, I
think we should put the below driver under "if SYSRESET" too, not just
x86.

 41 config SYSRESET_SYSCON
 42         bool "Enable support for mfd syscon reboot driver"
 43         select REGMAP
 44         select SYSCON
 45         help
 46           Reboot support for generic SYSCON mapped register reset.
 47
 48 config SYSRESET_WATCHDOG
 49         bool "Enable support for watchdog reboot driver"
 50         select WDT
 51         help
 52           Reboot support for generic watchdog reset.
