This binding supersedes the bcm2835-pm-wdt binding which only covered
enough to provide a watchdog, but the HW block is actually mostly
about power domains.

+BCM2835 PM (Power domains, watchdog)
+
+The PM block controls power domains and some reset lines, and includes
+a watchdog timer.  This binding supersedes the brcm,bcm2835-pm-wdt
+binding which covered some of PM's register range and functionality.
+
+Required properties:
+
+- compatible:		Should be "brcm,bcm2835-pm"
+- reg:			Specifies base physical address and size of the two
+			  register ranges ("PM" and "ASYNC_BRIDGE" in that
+			  order)
+- clocks:		a) v3d: The V3D clock from CPRMAN
+			b) peri_image: The PERI_IMAGE clock from CPRMAN
+			c) h264: The H264 clock from CPRMAN
+			d) isp: The ISP clock from CPRMAN
+- #reset-cells: 	Should be 1.  This property follows the reset controller
+			  bindings[1].
+- #power-domain-cells:	Should be 1.  This property follows the power domain
+			  bindings[2].
+
+Optional properties:
+
+- timeout-sec:	Contains the watchdog timeout in seconds

sorry for my late reply. I hope we can take the opportunity of a new binding to fix an old issue of the bcm2835-wdt driver. The watchdog driver sets the pm_power_off callback without checking for "system-power-controller" property [3]. As a result we can't use another poweroff controller like e.g. gpio-poweroff. In downstream this has been workarounded by an additional devicetree property for the gpio-poweroff driver [4]. But this isn't the right way because the issue is in the bcm2835 watchdog driver not in all the other reset controller.

Suggested pseudo code:

if (!pm_power_off) {
    /* Preserve the old behavior of watchdog driver in case of old DTB */
    if (!of_device_is_compatible(dev->of.node, "brcm,bcm2835-pm") ||
        of_device_is_system_power_controller(dev->of.node))
        pm_power_off = bcm2835_power_off;
}

Best regards
Stefan
