No, this is not an assumption.  It has been verified by other NVIDIA engineers
since I proposed this change.

I don't know what you mean by "the log".  Was that a typo?  Anyway, I
have a watchdog driver that I intend to follow up with, that binds
with tegra30-timer.  I don't want this driver to be able to bind with
tegra20-timer, because the driver won't actually work on tegra20.

Does that answer your question?
