+	  Watchdog timer block in the Samsung S3C24xx, S3C64xx, S5Pv210 and
+	  Exynos SoCs. This will reboot the system when the timer expires with

 	  The driver is limited by the speed of the system's PCLK
 	  signal, so with reasonably fast systems (PCLK around 50-66MHz)
 	  then watchdog intervals of over approximately 20seconds are
 	  unavailable.
 
+	  Choose Y/M here only if you build for such Samsung SoC.
