I don't entirely see the point of that complexity for dt changes,
but whatever. Since my tree is not the official watchdog-next tree,
that means I can not take the entire series (which goes way beyond
the dt changes and also drops the bcm63xx driver). Unless I hear
otherwise, I'll drop the series from my tree for the time being
and wait for the dt changes to be sorted out.
