I read the other branch of this thread too, but IMHO, this would be the
best solution for now. It's a one line change and does the job. After
all, we have that priority for a reason, it doesn't makes sense having
all of them at a common default. As mentioned in an other reply, I think
it is especially reasonable to configure the syscon-reboot driver a bit
higher, since this driver is more likely to be used for a dedicated
reboot feature provided by the SoC, which usually is the preferred one.
If it happens one day that a SoC ends up with conflicting priorities or
other priority odds, we can add the DT support then...

What do you think, can I go with that for now? (Guenter, Feng, Mark...?)
