Sorry, It looks like I missed your point in your previous email. I
thought that gcs_pmc mem resource will be used only if watchdog device
is enumerated by intel_pmc_ipc.c

After reviewing the code again, I found out this iTCO_wdt driver can
also be enumerated by drivers/mfd/lpc_ich.c and
drivers/i2c/busses/i2c-i801.c. Both these drivers pass the GCS as memory
resource. So using intel_pmc_ipc specific calls will break watchdog
functionality if its enumerated by any device other than intel_pmic_ipc.c

May be I should add a flag for ipc case in itco_wdt_platform_data and
handle this as a special case.
