Hum.. I found ifdefs scary, so I tend to avoid them if at all possible.
Just did a quick hack enclosing all the armada-xxx stuff around #if 0
and here's the result:
$ ./scripts/bloat-o-meter ~/linux/.builds/mvebu_v7/drivers/watchdog/orion_wdt.o ~/linux/.builds/orion5x/drivers/watchdog/orion_wdt.o
add/remove: 0/0 grow/shrink: 1/4 up/down: 12/-80 (-68)
function old new delta
orion_wdt_probe 732 744 +12
orion_wdt_get_timeleft 44 40 -4
orion_enabled 68 60 -8
orion_start 120 88 -32
orion_wdt_ping 80 44 -36
To be honest, I don't think it's worth the ugliness.
