I don't like this.  It reaches outside of the wdt register.  I think a
more clean way to do this is to do a provider/consumer relationship as
in reset.txt.  eg, here you would retain the original reg binding, and
add a reset phandle.

Mmm... I can't see how this fits a reset-controller usage.

The watchdog simply "enables" the RSTOUT bit that allows the whole SoC
to be reset when the watchdog counter expires.

The reset-controller seems to be meant to send reset signals to devices,
which is not this case.

What am I missing?

Another possible solution is to simply "enable" the RSTOUT bit for
watchdog somewhere in mach-{kirkwood,mvebu,...} at board boot-up time.

Do you think that would have any drawbacks?

IMHO, it should be fine to always enable watchdog reset -> rstout_n
assertion. The watchdog driver does it unconditionally anyway.
We can move it to arch specific code now, and reset API handler later.
