+Conexant Digicolor SoCs Watchdog timer
+
+The watchdog functionality in Conexant Digicolor SoCs relies on the so called
+"Agent Communication" block. This block includes the eight programmable system
+timer counters. The first timer (called "Timer A") is the only one that can be
+used as watchdog.
+
+Required properties:
+
+- compatible : Should be "cnxt,cx92755-wdt"
+- reg : Specifies base physical address and size of the registers
+- clocks : phandle; specifies the clock that drives the timer
+
+Optional properties:
+
+- timeout-sec : Contains the watchdog timeout in seconds
+
+Example:
+
+ watchdog@f0000fc0 {
+ compatible = "cnxt,cx92755-wdt";
+ reg = <0xf0000fc0 0x8>;
+ clocks = <&main_clk>;
+ timeout-sec = <15>;
+ };
