s3c2410, s3c2440 and s3c2442 do not have the swrst facility. They always use 
samsung_wdt_reset.

In general, I want to try establishing some sort of general restart way, as in 
the future one dt-board should hopefully be enough to cover all s3c24xx soc 
variants.

As I said above, this is mainly meant for the dt-case. The legacy-board files 
are more or less only secondary, and the affected boards can of course then 
have a NULL restart handle :-) .

So for this the dt-board could simply use the wdt-reset, which then gets 
replaced by the ccf-based reset if appropriate.
