please add

#endif

I don't agree with this.  The GTDT should be parsed even if there's no
watchdog driver compiled for this kernel.  There are no other #ifdefs in
this file.

So what's the point of parse GTDT and alloc memories for it if there
is no watchdog driver compiled for the kernel? will the module insmod
later even if the CONFIG_ARM_SBSA_WATCHDOG=n?


+     * Add a platform device named "sbsa-gwdt" to match the platform
driver.
+     * "sbsa-gwdt": SBSA(Server Base System Architecture) Generic
Watchdog
+     * The platform driver can get device info below by matching this
name.

* The platform driver (drivers/watchdog/sbsa_gwdt.c) can get device info
below by matching this name.

Adding the file name which will help for review and maintain in my
opinion.

Except it will cause problems if the driver is renamed or moved.  I
don't think this is a good idea, either (sorry!)

OK, that's good point. but what I proposed is some hint to which driver
will use the data prepared in this file, we can easily understand it
in this patchset, but if just review the code in this fiel, I think
people will be confused without detail comments.

Thanks
