I started reviewing this patch yesterday. First thing I noticed was that
you seem to be moving some code from include/asm-arm/arch-iop13xx/system.h
to include/asm-arm/arch-iop13xx/iop13xx.h .
This should not be part of this patch since it is touching architecture
dependant code for which I do not have enough knowledge about this specific
architecture to tell if this is indeed the correct way to do this.
The maintainers of this architecture should imho comment on this.
Could you split this patch into 2 patches: one that deals with the moving of
the architecture dependant code (and explaining why) and one with the new
watchdog drivers? I will continue my review today.


I am one of the maintainers of this architecture, (Lennert Buytenhek
is the other).  I will go ahead and split this up so you can sign-off
on the watchdog specific bits.  The intent is to move all hardware
definitions under #include <asm/hardware.h>.  You are right this
should have been a separate patch.

Thanks,
Wim.


Thanks for your help,
Dan
