The patch has implications touching 2 different ARM subarchitectures 
outside the driver itself, so I felt it more appropriate for the rename 
to happen all at once and be carried through the ARM tree.  The driver 
sees no functional changes.
But I agree that I could have sent you a note.

I don't think it'll apply cleanly to the watchdog tree without greater 
conflicts with the other ARM related changes.
