There is an interest to have reset reason exported on other ZII hardware as well. I think that trying to make this generic is purely synthetic. This information is board-specific per it's nature, it comes from what board is designed for, different boards have quite different sets of possible reset reasons. What is needed is - pass this board-specific information to board-specific user space. What's proper API for that, if not a sysfs attribute?
