My apologies but I didn't find any suitable, only watchdog parameters with
dtbindings file, where should I put it? Documentation/watchdog/aspeed-wdt-
sysfs.rst?

Perhaps dts configuration option would be better solution for it then? "force-
cs0-switch" as example? Also, if it would be an option, dtbindings/wdt file for
documentation will be the right place for it. Usage of this at side 0 will not
get any good/bad results, it just makes user confused, so I decided to put it
only at side 1. It works only for ast2400/2500 board unfortunately, for 2600
there is big difference in switching mechanism. Any other thoughts how to make
it better?
Thanks.
