I have impression my feedback was about mapping entire address space,
not few registers of watchdog:

However later during talks it turned out that the address space is
heavily shared.

Nick,
BTW, do you see my comments in the email I linked above? This v5 makes
the same mistake. We talked about this already, so please make note of
comments you receive and implement them.

Best regards,
Krzysztof
