I am not opposed to putting watchdog into the init sequence.
A current ARM way for initializing the watchdog is to do it in
s_init. Why doesn't this work for you ?
Reviewing other watchdog additions in the init sequences from powerpc,sh,m68k
If an init is to be added, this setup should be cut-n-pasted from one
of these. There should be follow-on patches to convert the ARM s_init's over to
using the init sequence.
