Thanks (again) for review Guenter!

"hw_margin_ms" is an existing binding for specifying the maximum TMO in
HW (if I understood it correctly). (It is used at least by the generig
GPIO watchdog) I thought it's better to not invent a new vendor
specific binding when we have a generic one.

Sorry Guenter - I am probably a bit slow today but I am unsure if I
understand the suggestion. Do you mean something like:

hw_margin_min = 0;

ret = of_property_read_u32(np, "rohm,hw-margin-min-ms",
&hw_margin_min);
if (ret && ret != -EINVAL)
	return ret;

Other than that - all findings are clear to me. I'll craft a new
version but I'll wait for a while to see if Lee has time to send some
feedback on MFD so I could get both WDG and MFD fixes to same version
:)

Best Regards
