Hi all,

This series make an update in the MT7621 SoC's watchdog driver code. This
SoC already provides a system controller node to access reset status
register needed for the watchdog. Instead of using MIPS architecture
dependent operations in header 'asm/mach-ralink/ralink_regs.h' use
a phandle to the system controller node and use it through regmap APIs
from the code. Driver is also using some globals that are not needed at
all if a driver data structure is used along the code. Hence, add all
new needed stuff inside a new driver data structure. With this changes
driver can be properly compile tested.

Thanks in advance for reviewing this!

Best regards,
    Sergio Paracuellos

I don't understand this part. You claim you add a phandle to this node,
but your binding suggest you add here a phandle to other node.

This needs to be more specific - which syscon? It also does not fit your
commit msg.

You claim in commit title that you remove some global usage, but you add
here several new features and refactor the code significantly. You need
to split refactorings, improvements from completely new features. The
entire patch is very difficult to understand in current form.

Then why do you need syscon compatible here?

Yes, such split sounds better. Thanks.
