I think this is a direct consequence of the attempt to remove the
header file dependency, since the RSTOUTn_MASK macro is defined
in mach/bridge-regs.h.

I don't see a good way out that would preserve backwards compatibility,
other than hardcoding the physical address in the driver, which seems
just as bad as breaking compatibility. That said, it is always the
same constant (0xf1000000 + 0x20000 + 0x0108) on Dove, Kirkwood and
Orion5x (not on mv78xx0, but that doesn't use the wdt), so hardcoding
a fallback would technically work, but we should print a fat warning at
boot time if we actually fall back to that.
