yes, you are right, fixed it.

Actually, after the discussion in the 7th patch, I have tried to do
this, see if that can make the code simpler.
Then I found out that
(1) If we would like to reuse "for_each_platform_timer" (and
"next_platform_timer") to scan the GTDT for SBSA watchdog, we have to
re-initialize acpi_gtdt_desc, too.
     So we still need to explain that why we have to re-initialize
acpi_gtdt_desc.
(2) If we totally ignore acpi_gtdt_desc, and acpi_gtdt_init(), we
can't re-use  "for_each_platform_timer" (and "next_platform_timer") .
we have to re-write  the loop of scanning the GTDT for SBSA watchdog,

So may I suggest that maybe we can keep using acpi_gtdt_init, only add
the comment to explain why we have to re-initialize
acpi_gtdt_desc(Just what you have said in the 7th patch. Thanks for
your correction for the comment, I will use that ), this way maybe can
make the code simpler.

But If you still concern about this,  we still can discuss this at -rc1.

Great thanks for your help! :-)
