Thanks for the feedback;

It is possible to remove the "lpc23xx_restart" function from "mach-lpc32xx"
and add the functionality to the pnx4008 watchdog driver.
The restart hook in phy3250.c can be remove.

I will submit a new revision of the patch on Monday.

I need to add a new functionality to the pnx4008 driver to 
keep the driver disable and only provide the restart hook.

I am planning to add the functionality using a module parameter;
this is the way the pnx833x & s3c2410 driver are doing it.

Do you have any feedback before a submit a patch for this change.
