Including au1000.h from the machine specific header directory prevents

Since we do not use any definitions, drop it.

Given that this is nothing but yet another gpio watchdog driver, I'd
personally rather have it merged with gpio_wdt.c. On a higher level,
cleaning up old-style watchdog drivers, without converting them to
using the watchdog core, is a waste of time.

Wim, should we make it a policy to reject patches into old-style drivers
unless they fix a real bug ? It is getting a pain to have to review those
patches.

Thanks,
