Yes. Looks like I'll need another revision.

Even worse, the current upstream code is somewhat broken and doesn't really
like the following instructions.
	drivers/watchdog/moxart_wdt.c:  arm_pm_restart = NULL;
	drivers/watchdog/sunxi_wdt.c:   arm_pm_restart = NULL;

Fortunately that code is only executed if those drivers are built as modules
and unloaded.
