-* Atmel Watchdog Timers
-
-** at91sam9-wdt
-
-Required properties:
-- compatible: must be "atmel,at91sam9260-wdt".
-- reg: physical base address of the controller and length of memory mapped
-  region.
-- clocks: phandle to input clock.
-
-Optional properties:
-- timeout-sec: contains the watchdog timeout in seconds.
-- interrupts : Should contain WDT interrupt.
-- atmel,max-heartbeat-sec : Should contain the maximum heartbeat value in
-	seconds. This value should be less or equal to 16. It is used to
-	compute the WDV field.
-- atmel,min-heartbeat-sec : Should contain the minimum heartbeat value in
-	seconds. This value must be smaller than the max-heartbeat-sec value.
-	It is used to compute the WDD field.
-- atmel,watchdog-type : Should be "hardware" or "software". Hardware watchdog
-	use the at91 watchdog reset. Software watchdog use the watchdog
-	interrupt to trigger a software reset.
-- atmel,reset-type : Should be "proc" or "all".
-	"all" : assert peripherals and processor reset signals
-	"proc" : assert the processor reset signal
-	This is valid only when using "hardware" watchdog.
-- atmel,disable : Should be present if you want to disable the watchdog.
-- atmel,idle-halt : Should be present if you want to stop the watchdog when
-	entering idle state.
-	CAUTION: This property should be used with care, it actually makes the
-	watchdog not counting when the CPU is in idle state, therefore the
-	watchdog reset time depends on mean CPU usage and will not reset at all
-	if the CPU stop working while it is in idle state, which is probably
-	not what you want.
-- atmel,dbg-halt : Should be present if you want to stop the watchdog when
-	entering debug state.

-Example:
-	watchdog@fffffd40 {
-		compatible = "atmel,at91sam9260-wdt";
-		reg = <0xfffffd40 0x10>;
-		interrupts = <1 IRQ_TYPE_LEVEL_HIGH 7>;
-		clocks = <&clk32k>;
-		timeout-sec = <15>;
-		atmel,watchdog-type = "hardware";
-		atmel,reset-type = "all";

-		atmel,max-heartbeat-sec = <16>;
-		atmel,min-heartbeat-sec = <0>;
