Describe new optional property 'no-system-reset'.  When present in the
system device tree no system reset is to occur on watchdog timeout.
System reset in this case is managed by one of the other watchogs
available.

I'm not sure that this describes the hardware. The datasheet says:

Whenever timeout ocurs, WDT can program to generate 6 types of signals:

  * ARM reset signal: to reset ARM CPU only
  * SOC reset signal: to reset SOC part function
  * System reset signal: to reset full chip
  * Interrupt signal: to interrupt CPU
  * Eternal signal: to external reset counter (only WDT1 and WDT2)
  * Alternate boot signal: to boot from alternate block

I think your bindings should describe these modes where possible.

I'll add the modes you describe.

Thanks,
Chris

Cheers,

Joel

  Example:

         wdt1: watchdog@1e785000 {
                 compatible = "aspeed,ast2400-wdt";
                 reg = <0x1e785000 0x1c>;
