+Synopsys Designware Watchdog Timer
+
+Required Properties:
+
+- compatible	: Should contain "snps,dw-wdt"
+- reg		: Base address and size of the watchdog timer registers.
+- clocks	: phandle + clock-specifier for the clock that drives the
+		watchdog timer.
+
+Optional Properties:
+
+- interrupts	: The interrupt used for the watchdog timeout warning.
+
+Example:
+
+	watchdog0: wd@ffd02000 {
+		compatible = "snps,dw-wdt";
+		reg = <0xffd02000 0x1000>;
+		interrupts = <0 171 4>;
+		clocks = <&per_base_clk>;
+	};
