Sigh.

Take whichever text you like, but I prefer filenames using the 
compatible string and the correct string is 'arm,sp805' because '-wdt' 
is redundant. You can probably safely just update all the dts files with 
'arm,sp805' and just remove 'arm,sp805-wdt' because it is not actually 
used (as the ID registers are).
