SubjectRe: [PATCH v2 6/7] Watchdog: introduce ARM SBSA watchdog driver

The first "S" in SBSA stands for "Server". I don't think it makes sense
to put an SBSA watchdog device in a non-server SOC.

Frankly, I don't understand why people want to make this driver work on
hardware that doesn't exist. The SBSA is intended for 64-bit ARM
Servers that use ACPI. Yes, there are a couple of ARM64 servers that
use device tree, but those are legacy platforms.
