I would prefer you do not rename the binding especially as I am about to
remove the bcm63xx_wdt.c driver, and so having a binding name that sort
of matches the driver names makes it a lot easier to keep all of your
eggs in the same basket. We can argue whether 63xx came before 7xxx in
terms of time line, but that still does not justify the rename IMHO.

I realized that we are missing a 7038 pattern in the MAINTAINERS file
for the BCM7XXX entry, and that will be fixed shortly after sending this
email.

Please add Justin Chen (original author) and myself as maintainers for
this binding.
