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.
