[PATCH v2 0/6] Improved sysreset/watchdog uclass integration

This series hooks up the watchdog uclass to automatically register
watchdog devices for use with sysreset, doing a bit of minor cleanup
along the way.

The goal is for this to replace the sunxi board-level non-DM reset_cpu()
function. I was surprised to find that the wdt_reboot driver requires
its own undocumented device tree node, which references the watchdog
device by phandle. This is problematic for us, because sunxi-u-boot.dtsi
file covers 20 different SoCs with varying watchdog node phandle names.
So it would have required adding a -u-boot.dtsi file for each board.

Hooking things up automatically makes sense to me; this is what Linux
does. However, I put the code behind a new option to avoid surprises for
other platforms.

Changes in v2:
 - Extend the "if SYSRESET" block to the end of the file.
 - Also make gpio_reboot_probe function static.
 - Rebase on top of 492ee6b8d0e7 (now handle all watchdogs).
 - Added patches 5-6 as an example of how the new option will be used.

Samuel Holland (6):
  sysreset: Add uclass Kconfig dependency to drivers
  sysreset: Mark driver probe functions as static
  sysreset: watchdog: Move watchdog reference to plat data
  watchdog: Automatically register device with sysreset
  sunxi: Avoid duplicate reset_cpu with SYSRESET enabled
  sunxi: Use sysreset framework for poweroff/reset
