The same comment as the RTC DT patch, you are removing the compatibles
documentation for the other supported platforms like stih416-lpc.
AFAIK they are required in the driver to get the correct sysconfig register.

regards,

Peter.

That's intentional.  I haven't yet tested any of this IP on
STiH41{5,6} & STiH127.  Due to lack of documentation, I'm not even
sure if this IP even exists on some of the other platforms.  I will
add them back when support is added to both driver and DTB and I've
been able to test them.

That was kind of my point, the driver code AFAIK already contains support
for these SoC's.

I would either expect the patch to remove support from the DT docs AND the
driver, or leave it as is.

It seems odd to only change the DT docs, and become unaligned to the
code (this assumes I'm looking at the latest patchset here 
https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/3/4/1088 which includes support for these SoCs).

regards,

Peter.

The decision to remove these 'supported' platforms was made on the RTC
side, where there is only support for "st,stih407-lpc" in the driver.
I thought it best to mirror that thought over to the Watchdog LPC
bindings, but thought it not really worth ripping out existing support
from the driver.  If others wish to test/use the Watchdog on other
platforms and can read C code, they'll know what to do.

Hopefully all of this will be a non-issue anyway, as I plan to test
this on the other boards I have in my farm and make the necessary
changes in the upcoming weeks.  All should be squared away by the next
merge-window.

The change makes sense in the RTC case then.

Why? This is the bit I disagree with, the wdt DT docs IMHO should match the wdt
driver code.

I agree it is not worth ripping out existing support only to add it back in. Equally
I can't see the point in doing this with the DT documentation either.

Yes, and without this change they could also read the documentation. Your doing a
v2 anyway, it seems trivial to fix this at the same time.

Peter.

Fair enough.  I'll add the 'supported' compatibles back in.
