A soft reboot should allow the server to shut down gracefully. A reset
wouldn't do that, at least as I understand it. A reset would be more
appropriate for a hard reboot, although I see Dmitry had a couple of
other concerns with implementing it as a reset on the review.

Hi,
Is there a reason for powering off and on[1] instead of resetting server
during SOFT_REBOOT?
I have a patchset[2] that resets the server instead of power cycling it.

https://github.com/openstack/ironic/blob/master/ironic/drivers/modules/ipmitool.py#L820
elif power_state == states.SOFT_REBOOT:
_soft_power_off(task, driver_info, timeout=timeout)
driver_utils.ensure_next_boot_device(task, driver_info)
_power_on(task, driver_info, timeout=timeout)
