Should that be reset-gpios, shutdown-gpios? Even though you have only
one it seems that people put an 's' on the end.

It would be better I think if this were explicit here. If you have a
number, then what values does it take and what do they mean?

Can this be a phandle instead of a string?

IMO device tree bindings should be fully documented in this file,
rather than needing to look at a separate header. This is particularly
true if the binding is used in another project.
