+* ARM SP805 Watchdog Timer (WDT) Controller
+
+SP805 WDT is a ARM Primecell Peripheral and has a standard-id register that
+can be used to identify the peripheral type, vendor, and revision.
+This value can be used for driver matching.
+
+Note that the current sp805_wdt driver relies on the 'drivers/amba/bus.c'
+framework to invoke the probe function of the sp805_wdt driver using the
+unique PRIMECELL identifiers of the sp805 wdt IP.
+
+As SP805 WDT is a primecell IP, it follows the base bindings specified in
+'arm/primecell.txt'
+
+Required properties:
+- compatible : Should be "arm,sp805-wdt", "arm,primecell"
+- reg : Base address and size of the watchdog timer registers.
+- interrupts : Should specify WDT interrupt number.
+
+Optional properties:
+- clocks : From common clock binding. First clock is phandle to clock for apb
+           pclk. Additional clocks are optional.
+- clock-names : From common clock binding. Shall be "apb_pclk" for first clock.
+
+Examples:
+
+		cluster1_core0_watchdog: wdt at c000000 {
+			compatible = "arm,sp805-wdt", "arm,primecell";
+			reg = <0x0 0xc000000 0x0 0x1000>;
+			interrupts = <1 12 0x8>; /* PPI, Level low type */
+			clocks = <&clockgen 4 3>;
+			clock-names = "apb_pclk";
+		};
