The framework looks great. I hope it gets in soon.

It's a platform device so it's already on the platform bus under:

/sys/devices/platform/mpcore_wdt

Do I need to create another bus? The platform driver name is used in driver
matching so it doesn't seem like the right thing to do to change it to watchdog.
