you can add a comment that 0xff must be set for following 3 fields as
not a PCI device.

it is a bit weird to hardcode the freq while it is passed as parameter.
Why don't you propagate it in the table?

spec says:
"
The time-out period before the WDT fires is recommended to be at least 5
minutes and is required to be less than 4,294,967,296 count intervals.
"
where does the 4 min come from?

why 0x7? where did you get that mask value from

in DEN0094E_BSA_1.2.pdf

"0x000-0x003 WRR Watchdog refresh register. A write to this location
causes the watchdog to refresh and start a new
watch period. A read has no effect and returns 0."

How does the above intrustuction work? How the countdown period is
passed? what does the 0 mean in that case?

I would rather group instructions on wcs and then instructions using wor
or wrr

reflects the status of WS1 only (and not WS0). Can you explain why this
is what we want?

this patch is big. You could easily move the add_wathdog +
