Hi Arnd. The plan is to make dove part of MULTI_V7. At that point, you have both dove and armada-370-xp in the same kernel. Conditional compilation does not work, the watchdog driver would need to know at runtime which timer is in use, and call the right timer function. I'm working on making DT Kirkwood part of MULTI_V5. The changes needed are mostly trivial. I expect making Dove part of MULTI_V7 is also trivial, so could happen during the next cycle. So this mix of Dove and Armada 370 XP is not a theoretical problem, it is something which needs to be solved ready for merging during the next window.
