Hi Viresh,

Thanks for the feedback, comments inline.

Ok, agreed.

No, dw_wdt_set_top() can't fail, it just returns the timeout period that 
it set in seconds.  We use this when the user changes the timeout period 
as we may not be able to select the exact timeout period they chose, but 
here we just select the maximum timeout.

Ok, that's clearer.

We're using devres for the ioremap and region request so that takes care 
of the cleanup for us.  This also means we don't need to iounmap and 
release in the release method.

The DesignWare watchdog has 16 timeout periods and these are derived 
from the clock frequency input to the WDT.  If we don't have a clk then 
we don't know how long the timeout periods.  The only alternative would 
be to have a 'struct dw_wdt_platform_data' that includes the input clock 
frequency which we use if we can't get a clk and get the rate.

Agreed.

Ok, thanks.
