I didn't see the RFC, but I like a data struct better. It has some
overhead, but allows for easier expansion later, needs less casting and
is easier to understand for a reader (see below).

I wouldn't group this to the register definition because it serves a
different purpose. Also the negation isn't that nice, making it hard to
understand

	if (of_id && !of_id->data)

below. If a struct would be used, the code would be much easier to
understand. Compare to 

	if (type->has_WMCR)

in my patch which is understandable on first sight.

You don't need this if you use dev->driver->of_match_table (or still
better of_device_get_match_data (see my patch)).

The fix is not complete as this test doesn't work correctly when the wdt
device isn't instanciated by dt but by a platform file (see my patch).

This comment should be after fsl,imx21-wdt and fsl,imx35-wdt. After all
these are not there for backward compatibility.

I'd skip the last paragraph.
