This is unusual. Why would other drivers access WDT_CTRL and WDT_CNT
registers, and how is it ensured that the other drivers do not interfer
with the accesses by this driver ?
Normally such a resource would be shared through a parent driver with
appropriate access functions to ensure that accesses are synchronized.
