Thank you for your contribution! Sashiko AI review found 1 potential issue(s) to consider:

Pre-existing issues:
- [High] The interrupt handler relies on platform drvdata but is registered before drvdata is set, which can lead to a NULL pointer dereference.

watchdog: sama5d4: use platform_get_irq_optional()

This commit replaces irq_of_parse_and_map() with platform_get_irq_optional()
to avoid needing irq_dispose_mapping() on failure. It also adds handling for
-EPROBE_DEFER.

[Severity: High]
This is a pre-existing issue, but since the interrupt is registered
with IRQF_SHARED shortly after this, could the handler fire before
platform_set_drvdata() is called?

In sama5d4_wdt_probe(), the interrupt is registered like this:

	ret = devm_request_irq(dev, irq, sama5d4_wdt_irq_handler,
			       IRQF_SHARED | IRQF_IRQPOLL |
			       IRQF_NO_SUSPEND, pdev->name, pdev);

Because it is shared, another device on the same IRQ line could trigger
an interrupt immediately. The handler then retrieves the wdt pointer
using platform_get_drvdata():

drivers/watchdog/sama5d4_wdt.c:sama5d4_wdt_irq_handler() {
	struct sama5d4_wdt *wdt = platform_get_drvdata(dev_id);
	...
	if (wdt->sam9x60_support)
		...
}

However, platform_set_drvdata() is only called at the very end of
sama5d4_wdt_probe(). Would this result in a NULL pointer dereference
if the interrupt triggers early? Should platform_set_drvdata() be
moved before the interrupt is requested?
