I'd side with Guenter on this. We better not flood users' screens with
options that are not relevant to their hardware.

An alternative here could be making CONFIG_S3C2410_WATCHDOG depend on
a general symbol for Samsung SoC support if there is such, but then,
are we 100% sure that all the Samsung SoCs would actually have exactly
this watchdog? If a new one shows up, one would have to bring back
this HAVE_S3C2410_WATCHDOG symbol.

Best regards,
Tomasz
