Hardware supported by this driver goes back to the old bcm63xx days. It
was then reused in BCM7038 and later also in BCM4908.

Depending on SoC model registers layout differs a bit. This commit
introduces support for per-chipset registers offsets & adds BCM4908
layout.

Later on BCM63xx SoCs support should be added too (probably as platform
devices due to missing DT). Eventually this driver should replace
bcm63xx_wdt.c.

Seems unrelated / irrelevant in this commit log, except maybe after '---'.

REG_DEFVAL is an odd name for this register. I can see that the
bcm63xx driver uses it, but in reality it seems to be the timeout
value, not some default value, only the bcm63xx driver doesn't
seem to use it properly. I think REG_TIMEOUT or similar would
be a much better name.

I used name used in Broadcom's SDK (and as I guess also in their
documentation too).

Take a look at this BCM60333 example:

typedef struct Timer {
	uint32	TimerInts;		/* 0x00 */
	uint32	TimerCtl0;		/* 0x04 */
	uint32	TimerCtl1;		/* 0x08 */
	uint32	TimerCtl2;		/* 0x0c */
	uint32	TimerCnt0;		/* 0x10 */
	uint32	TimerCnt1;		/* 0x14 */
	uint32	TimerCnt2;		/* 0x18 */
	uint32	WatchDogDefCount;	/* 0x1c */
	uint32	WatchDogCtl;		/* 0x20 */
	uint32	WDResetCount;		/* 0x24 */
} Timer;

I got impression that Linux driver registers names usually follow what
is used in hardware documentation.
