Ok, but then we are coming back to the V1 series containing the
following patches:
ARM: smp_twd: mpcore_wdt: Fix watchdog counter loading
ARM: smp_twd: Fix typo in twd_timer_rate printout
ARM: mpcore_wdt: Fix WDIOC_SETOPTIONS handling
ARM: mpcore_wdt: Fix timer mode setup

The patches V2 5/6 (Add cpufreq notifier to reload counter) and V2 6/6
(Move declarations in a separate header) are useless without smp_twd
clock and can be threw out.

I will rebase and update V1 series and repost them soon.

Thanks,
Vitaly.
