Hi Bill,

It looks that you are also not getting WDT reset after specified timeout? Is it so?
So, probably driver is fine as it is tested on SPEAr.

Probably the issue might be with clock rate and clock enable. What is the clock rate
for wdt in your platform?
Driver calls clk_enable() and clk_get_rate(). Can you please verify that this is
working correctly.
