Hm... yes it doesn't look right. It should read:
"DT-enabled platforms, where the irqchip driver for the brigde interrupt
controller is available, can handle the watchdog IRQ properly. Therefore,
we request the interrupt and add a dummy handler that merely calls panic()".
I guess we can re-phrase it be a bit more readable.
Why does th commit title looks wrong? By requesting the IRQ we are
"handling it", no?
