MPC5200: How to share GPIO and watchdog

Hi list,

the timer0 on the MPC5200B contains one GPIO and a timer/watchdog.

If I'm using this node:

timer@600 {	/* General Purpose Timer */
    compatible =3D "fsl,mpc5200b-gpt","fsl,mpc5200-gpt";
    cell-index =3D <0>;
    reg =3D <0x600 0x10>;
    interrupts =3D <0x1 0x9 0x0>;
    interrupt-parent =3D <&mpc5200_pic>;
   fsl,has-wdt;
};

I will get watchdog support.

If I'm using this node:

timer@600 {	/* General Purpose Timer */
    compatible =3D "fsl,mpc5200b-gpt","fsl,mpc5200-gpt","fsl,mpc5200b-gpt-g=
pio","fsl,mpc5200-gpt-gpio";
    cell-index =3D <0>;
    reg =3D <0x600 0x10>;
    interrupts =3D <0x1 0x9 0x0>;
    interrupt-parent =3D <&mpc5200_pic>;
    gpio-controller;
    #gpio-cells =3D <2>;
    fsl,has-wdt;
};

I will get GPIO support, but no longer watchdog support (watchdogs probe
function will never be called).

Is there a way to get both features supported?

Regards,
Juergen

I don't believe so.  In order to make this work you would need to merge
the two drivers into one I think (which probably isn't a bad idea).
