@Guenter, @Mark,

Yes, I do think so too and there has already regmap-mmio version patch
Series about the IMX2 Watchdog driver, but those regmap patches for
supporting the 16-bit values are in Mark's tree and the IMX2 Watchdog
will depend on them.

How to deal with this situation ?


The regmap patches depended by IMX2 Watchdog:

1, https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/3896321/   ===> <applied>
   regmap: mmio: add regmap_mmio_{regsize, count}_check. 
   https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/3896331/   ===> <applied>
   regmap: mmio: Add support for 1/2/8 bytes wide register address.
   https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/3901021/   ===> <applied>
   regmap: mmio: Add regmap_mmio_regbits_check.


2, The above three and this one are a must.
   https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/3912671/   ===> <pending>
   regmap: mmio: Fix the bug of 'offset' value parsing.


3, The following ones are not a must, but will make the IMX2
   Watchdog much simplifier.
   https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/3912401/   ===> <pending>
   regmap: implement LE formatting/parsing for 16/32-bit values.
   https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/3912751/   ===> <pending>
   regmap: add DT endianness binding support.
   https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/3912741/   ===> <pending>
   regmap: Add the DT binding documentation for endianness


The above all have been test using SAI(32-bit regmap-mmio), 
SGTL5000(codec 16-bit regmap-i2c) and IMX2 Watchdog(16-bit
regmap-mmio).


I'll send the regmap-mmio based patch series for IMX2 Watchdog.


Thanks,

Best Regards,
Xiubo
