Thanks. Please see my responses below.

ARCH_DIGICOLOR depends on ARCH_MULTI_V7 which depends on ARCH_MULTIPLATFORM, 
which in turn selects COMMON_CLK. So using the clk API should be safe.

I copied this value from an old Conexant provided watchdog driver, so I 
thought it should be a safe default. In fact, the RTC timer is clocked at 
200MHz by default, and since the counter is only 32bit wide, we can't set 
timeout much longer than 20 seconds anyway.

Right. Will do.

Some other drivers are doing the same (e.g. bcm2835_wdt, orion_wdt). Are they 
buggy? Will fix, anyway.

No. Just copied other drivers. I guess I can set .ping to dc_wdt_start as 
well.

Will fix.

Will fix.

Copied this value from imx2_wdt. grep indicates that almost all other watchdog 
drivers implementing restart_handler use priority of 128 (except bcm47xx_wdt). 
What is the policy here?

Again, copied from imx2_wdt. But I'll fix that anyway.

Will fix.

Thanks for reviewing.
