there are two issues here:

1. the dw-wdt can't support multiple variants now. I have rewrite the driver
with watchdog core supplied framework, but the patch isn't sent out and
may be need time to clean up and review.

2. not all dw-wdt devices are available and functional. This depends on
board design and configuration.

So IMHO status=disabled and patch5-8 is necessary, what do you think?

Thanks a lot for review,
