Hi all,

This series make an update in the MT7621 SoC's watchdog driver code. This
SoC already provides a system controller node to access reset status
register needed for the watchdog. Instead of using MIPS architecture
dependent operations in header 'asm/mach-ralink/ralink_regs.h' get
node syscon regmap using 'syscon_regmap_lookup_by_compatible()' and use.
regmap APIS. Driver is also using some globals that are not needed at
all if a driver data structure is used along the code. Hence, add all
new needed stuff inside a new driver data structure. With this changes
driver can be properly compile tested.

Thanks in advance for reviewing this!

v1 of this series here [0].
v2 of this series here [1].
v3 of this series here [2].
v4 of this series here [3].
v5 of this series here [4].

Changes in v6:
    - Get regmap syscon using 'syscon_regmap_lookup_by_compatible()'
    - Add COMPILE_TEST and dependencies to Kconfig.
    - Collect Philippe Mathieu-Daudé 'Reviewed-by' tag for watchdog node
      warning fix.

Changes in v5:
    - Drop patches related with device tree ABI breakage and only
      maintain the rest.
    - Collect Arinc 'Reviewed-by' tag for watchdog node warning fix.

Changes in v4:
    - Add a patch to fix a watchdog node warning with 'make dtbs_check'
      because of a wrong node name.
    - Collect Guenter 'Reviewed-by' tags for watchdog driver code.
    - Add a missing 'COMPILE_TEST' to Kconfig which was lost when driver
      code was split in two patches in v2.

Changes in v3:
    - rename phandler from 'ralink,sysctl' into 'mediatek,sysctl'.
    - Drop error message added in PATCH 3 that modifies functionality
      and we only want to maintain current functionaloty by now.

Changes in v2:
    - Remove no needed compatible 'syscon' from bindings.
    - Rewrite new syscon phandle description in bindings.
    - Remove 'syscon' from compatible in 'mt7621.dtsi'.
    - Split PATCH 3 into two different patches:
        - PATCH 3: removes static globals using a driver data structure.
        - PATCH 4: remove ralink architecture dependent includes and code.

Best regards,
    Sergio Paracuellos

This makes me regret taking mt7621-dts out of drivers/staging. Clearly 
there were improvements to be made on the MT7621 drivers that would 
affect the devicetree binding. I don't think one would bat an eye to 
make dt-binding changes on a devicetree on drivers/staging.

I also want to make a similar change that would break the ABI. I want to 
split the MediaTek MIPS (currently called Ralink) pinctrl subdrivers 
further, namely mt7620.c, to split MT7628/MT7688 pinmux data from 
MT7620, so I can properly document which function can be given to which 
group(s) for the MT7628/MT7688 SoCs.

This means I've got to introduce a new compatible string for the MT76X8 
SoCs which would cause the pinctrl driver to stop working with an old DT 
for the MT76X8 SoCs. By the nature of the change, I can't make a way 
around with the code like Sergio did in v6.

Now that I think about it, I think there's a way I can introduce a new 
compatible string for the sake of better documentation, and keep the 
driver working with old DTs. I'd not like to convolute this series with 
this conversation. I'll send a mail to the related mailing list when the 
time is right.
