powerpc/4xx: Add optional "reset_type" property to control reboot via dts
By setting "reset_type" to one of the following values, the default software reset mechanism may be overidden. Here the possible values of "reset_type": 1 - PPC4xx core reset 2 - PPC4xx chip reset 3 - PPC4xx system reset (default) This will be used by a new PPC440SPe board port, which needs a "chip reset" instead of the default "system reset" to be asserted.
