Since turning on idle-halt in commit 5161b31dc39a (watchdog:

AT91_WDT_WDIDLEHLT flag that was set by default fixes this.

However, we don't really care about that for kernels after 3.18 as no
users are using pdata anymore.
I think you could send a follow-up patch removing pdata support
completely.

Looks like this one falls through the cracks, it didn't reach mainline
and therefore wasn't applied to stable branches.

Possibly that happened because you did not copy the watchdog mailing list.

I just checked, it still apply properly on today's linux-next branch.

Cheers,
Sylvain
