But unfortunately this is the wrong solution. The watchdog DT node
belongs into the (newly created) common foundation-v8.dtsi, not into the
GICv2-only .dts.
So whoever now provides the watchdog patch, can it be rebased on top of
the foundation model .dts rework, so that the new node ends up in the
.dtsi file?
If this is too much hassle I could also send a fix after -rc1 (as the
breakage is not really critical).

Cheers,
Andre.
