Delta size on rtc-pcf2127.ko is 3244 bytes when compiled for armv7a.
I only added Kconfig option to allow driver load on arm platforms where
you need to use internal watchdog to restart board. But I will remove it
for next version, should I extend help text on exiting Kconfig option to
also include information about other chip features? As this is not a
simple RTC chip.

Okay, I was not aware that this was an old API. So I should convert
to struct watchdog_ops and devm_watchdog_register_device?
