Proposed bindings for a GPIO watchdog drivers

Hello,

I've written a watchdog driver for simple chips that are connected via
GPIO. Driver can be used with chips from different manufacturers.
Should "compatible" property be set to "gpio-wdt" or
"generic,gpio-wdt"? Are there any other problems with following
bindings?

---------

Required properties:
- compatible: must be "generic,gpio-wdt".
- gpios: gpio pin to use
- ping-sec: how often to ping the watchdog before userspace watchdog
daemon is started,
- timeout-sec: watchdog timeout that is reported to userspace.

Example:

max6369 {
        compatible = "generic,gpio-wdt";
        gpios = <&pioB 13 0>;
        ping-sec = <5>;
        timeout-sec = <60>;
};

Regards,
Alexander Morozov.
