[PATCH v4 0/9] Watchdog support for Armada 375/38x SoC

Fourth round of the patchset adding support for watchdog on Armada 375 and
Armada 38x SoCs.

The new Armada 375/385 SoCs have two registers for the watchdog RSTOUT:

 1. It has a dedicated register (similar to the one in A370/XP)
 2. Also has a bit in a shared RSTOUT register.

Therefore, in order to support this two-folded RSTOUT, we extend the 'reg'
property in the watchdog devicetree and require a new pair of cells to specify
the shared RSTOUT.

On the driver side, we need to implement per-SoC stop() and enabled()
functions. Such somewhat complex infrastructure is needed to ensure the driver
performs proper reset of the watchdog timer, by masking and disabling the
RSTOUT before the interrupt is enabled.

I've pushed a branch so people can test this easily, e.g. ensuring
no regressions on Dove, Kirkwood and A370/XP:

Series based on today's mvebu for-next. Will send a rebased version on top of
v3.15-rc1. Tested on A375-DB, A385-DB, A370-RD and Dove Cubox.

Changes from v3:

  * Added orion_wdt_get_regs() to do the ioremap'ing (and region request
    for non-shared regions), as previously suggested by Guenter. The probe()
    function is a bit more readable after this.

Changes from v2:

  * Cleaned-up usage of atomic_io_modify(), using it only when needed.
    For instance, the RSTOUT dedicated register on Armada 370/375/380/XP
    can be safely access without any lock.

  * Use devm_ioremap_resource() for the non-shared registers. The shared
    registers need to use devm_ioremap(), which does not request the
    memory region.

Changes from v1:

  * Reworked entirely!
