Your init_platform only has these two calls in it: + of_clk_init(NULL); + samsung_wdt_reset_of_init(); Presumably you need of_clk_init() for the watchdog to work. But do you actually need to initialize the reset logic this early? Why not turn samsung_wdt_reset_of_init into a standalone driver, or call it from init_machine? I would actually like to call of_clk_init from common code at some point between init_irq and init_time, although I'm not sure if some platforms need it to be called before init_irq.
