I think it should really be listed under "Optional properties" and the
reference to Keystone removed. Note how the binding would need
to change otherwise if another platform started to use the clock, which
is a little silly.

Ok, I'll move clocks property under "Optional properties" and describe it
as following:

Optional properties:
- timeout-sec : Contains the watchdog timeout in seconds
- clocks: phandle reference to the controller clock.
Needed if platform uses clocks.
See clock-bindings.txt

Nit: clocks aren't just phandles, they have a clock-specifier too (which
might be 0 cells).

Otherwise this looks fine to me.

Mark.


... I will replace it to:
Optional properties:
- timeout-sec : Contains the watchdog timeout in seconds
- clocks: the clock feeding the watchdog timer.
Needed if platform uses clocks.
See clock-bindings.txt

Is it OK?
