Sorry i got confused here. Which driver did you test coh901327_wdt.c or SP805.
1310 doesn't have 805, neither have coh901327_wdt. It has cortex watchdog, for which
support is not added for spear.

coh901327_wdt.c is for ST Ericsson's U300 soc.

The only thing i can think of is clock, as wdt_value is not at all decrementing.
