Allow the device tree to specify a watchdog to fallover to
the alternate boot source.

The aspeeed watchdog can set a latch directing flash chip select 0 to
chip select 1, allowing boot from an alternate media if the watchdog
is not reset in time.  On the ast2400 bank 1 also goes to flash bank 1,
while on the ast2500 the chip selects are swapped.

This is already documented in the bindings document, so the property
should be ok.

Thanks. On a related note, our system has need of a way to determine if it's currently booted from the alternate chip or not. It seems the only way to tell is to look at the ast2400/2500 watchdog timeout status register. We can add some debugfs to the aspeed driver I guess, but I wonder if this is a common enough situation that the watchdog core could use some debugfs or sysfs for providing that info?

Thanks,
Eddie
