In that case hwmod fw just highlighted the real behavior that was hidden 
so far by the X-loader.

You should as well add a link to the email thread with Kevin that raised 
the issue.

I'm still wondering as well what is the expected behavior of the 
watchdog in a real product. If it is started by default at boot time, 
this is probably for a good reason (or maybe not...).
So, disabling it all the time is maybe not the best solution.

Nishanth (M),
Do you have an idea on that topic?

typo: module

The real explanation is that you should not assume anything from the 
boot loader at that time, so always stop the wdt.

You should call it unused if the parameter is not used.

Paul added an hwmod API to get that va (something like *_get_mpu_rt_va).

The enable can fail, so you should check the return value.

This code is already in mach-omap2/devices.c, so that test should be 
useless.
