Why put the SoC name in the define names? Why not just have
TIMER1_BASE..TIMER10_BASE (that should be 10 not 0 as in your patch,
right?) and have the driver know that 1..4 are valid on Tegra20, and
1..10 are valid on later chips.

I guess if the defines are moved into a header file, adding a TEGRA_
prefix does make sense.

But I wonder if it wouldn't be simpler for the Tegra WDT driver to just
call a function on the Tegra clocksource driver to find out which timer
ID(s) to avoid using? Even simpler would be to just put a comment in the
WDT driver saying that timer 5 was chosen arbitrarily, but if it's
changed make sure not to conflict with the clocksource driver (and an
equivalent change to the clocksource driver).
