This patch checks if the watchdog enable bit is set in the DCL
register meaning that the hardware watchdog actually works and
if so, register the ar7_wdt platform_device.

I think the 'correct' way to do this is:
---
void __iomem *bootcr;
u32 val;
...
bootcr = ioremap_nocache(AR7_REGS_DCL, 4);
val = *bootcr;
Wait, you can't dereference a pointer to void...
