Hi Linus,

The MOXA ART and Aspeed watchdogs are clearly based on the
Faraday Technology FTWDT010 IP block.
They have a similar register interface, but I'm told they are not the same IP.

We've got some patches on the list that add some extra registers to
the driver for the ast2500. If we decide to merge the drivers, that
support will need to be included.

Andrew was working on that, I'll let him follow up on the details.
This series consolidates the drivers into one by extending
the Gemini driver to be as generic as possible, renaming it
to ftwdt010_wdt and merging the two other drivers into it.

As similar approach was used for the FTTMR010 driver in the
past.

The series ends with two patches that will be applied to
the ARM SoC tree to fix up the PCLK annotations, but these
are not needed to make the consolidation, patches 1-9 can
be applied directly to the watchdog tree to perform the
consolidation.
The clock isn't called PCLK in the Aspeed documentation (similarly for
the timer, but I was too slow to speak up in that case).

I'm trying to find some time to write a proper clock driver so it's
clear how the clocks are set out in the Aspeed.

Cheers,

Joel
