As you said, could we add all that later, as appropriate? Here I tried
to trim it
down to the the bare minimum -- my previous version of the driver had
separate reset  descriptors, but this one has been all compacted to do just
what it's supposed to do: clocks.

Or, so you want to add another DT index to refer to other reset indexes etc?
ie not use the of_clk_src_onecell_get provider? That COULD work and yes, the
indexes would stay the same, I'd just have to get the reset descriptor from the
clock object. We haven't had a use for individual resets so far.
