Does it make sense for the booke_wdt driver to be a kernel module?
Since the watchdog cannot be stopped, unloading the module after the
watchdog has started basically garantees a reboot.... Should
CONFIG_BOOKE_WDT be changed to a bool from tristate?

I don't see any value in making the booke_wdt driver a module.

Ok, I will make a patch to change it to bool then.
