I'm sorry, only now i understand your question.
The at91sam9_wdt driver don't use the watchdog core framework si i
can't use that function cleanly.
The patch #1 and #2 are for introducing the same property as the
at91sam9_wdt driver.
When the at91sam9_wdt is converted to the watchdog core framework, the
driver can use finally the new function.

Best regards
