When the watchdog driver learned about the i.MX35 type watchdog a new
compatibility string was introduced. Older dtb continue to use the
old fsl,imx21-wdt string and so stop writing the WMCR register which is
critical iff the machine powers off when WDOG becomes active and the
bootloader doesn't stop the power down counter.
It's unknown which boards are affected and I guess most of them are not.
Also note this is only an issue if a new kernel is operated with an old
dtb as the SoC dtsi files are fixed accordingly.
XXX: the XXX introduced needs to be changed to HEAD~2 when got a stable commit id.
