I don't understand what you are doing here and why you are not
offsetting the "reg" property appropriately when you create your
bcm4908-wdt Device Tree node such that the base starts at 0, and the
existing driver becomes usable as-is. This does not make any sense to me
when it is obviously the simplest way to make the driver "accept" the
resource being passed.

I am going to send my patch series converting the bcm63xx_wdt.c driver
over to bcm7038_wdt.c, feel free to use or discard it.
