I don't quiite understand the first sentence of this commit log, and
the commit title looks wrong. Maybe a bad copy/paste or something?
Hm... yes it doesn't look right. It should read:

"DT-enabled platforms, where the irqchip driver for the brigde interrupt
controller is available, can handle the watchdog IRQ properly. Therefore,
we request the interrupt and add a dummy handler that merely calls panic()".
Ok.
I guess we can re-phrase it be a bit more readable.

Why does th commit title looks wrong? By requesting the IRQ we are
"handling it", no?
Right, but it looks "truncated". Maybe something like:

watchdog: orion: handle irq to avoid having to clear BRIDGE_CLAUSE

or something like that (adjust to the actual reality, I haven't
followed all the implications).
