+Conexant Digicolor SoCs Watchdog timer
+
+The watchdog functionality in Conexant Digicolor SoCs relies on the so called
+"Agent Communication" block. This block includes the eight programmable system
+timer counters. The first timer (called "Timer A") is the only one that can be
+used as watchdog.
+
+Required properties:
+
+- compatible : Should be "cnxt,cx92755-wdt"
+- reg : Specifies base physical address and size of the registers
+- clocks : phandle; specifies the clock that drives the timer
+
+Optional properties:
+
+- timeout-sec : Contains the watchdog timeout in seconds
+
+Example:
+
+	watchdog@f0000fc0 {
+		compatible = "cnxt,cx92755-wdt";
+		reg = <0xf0000fc0 0x8>;
+		clocks = <&main_clk>;
+		timeout-sec = <15>;
+	};

+ *
+ * Notes
+ * -----
+ * The timeout value is rounded to the next power of two clock cycles.
+ * This is configured using the PDC_WDT_CONFIG register, according to this
+ * formula:
+ *
+ *     timeout = 2^(delay + 1) clock cycles
+ *
+ * Where 'delay' is the value written in PDC_WDT_CONFIG register.
+ *
+ * Therefore, the hardware only allows to program watchdog timeouts, expressed
+ * as a power of two number of watchdog clock cycles. The current implementation
+ * guarantees that the actual watchdog timeout will be _at least_ the value
+ * programmed in the imgpdg_wdt driver.
+ *
+ * The following table shows how the user-configured timeout relates
+ * to the actual hardware timeout (watchdog clock @ 40000 Hz):
+ *
+ * input timeout | WD_DELAY | actual timeout
+ * -----------------------------------
+ *      10       |   18     |  13 seconds
+ *      20       |   19     |  26 seconds
+ *      30       |   20     |  52 seconds
+ *      60       |   21     |  104 seconds
+ *
+ * Albeit coarse, this granularity would suffice most watchdog uses.
+ * If the platform allows it, the user should be able to change the watchdog
+ * clock rate and achieve a finer timeout granularity.
