The patch looks good overall. Please try to describe in the patch in
full sentences in the changelog, as we normally do.
A few tiny details that I'd do differently, but don't have to change
if the watchdog maintainer is fine with your version:

I would drop the #ifdef here, and favor readability over saving
a few bytes.

Is it guaranteed that the same clock feeds the arch timer and the
watchdog? Maybe it would be better to use the clk API to read
the frequency, so we can avoid this dependency.

I would probably drop the various pr_debug() calls here. Once the driver
works fine, they are normally not that useful any more.
