[PATCH] m8xx_wdt: software watchdog reset/interrupt select

Never tried the interrupt mode. IMHO doesn't make much sense for a 
watchdog. Why don't you simply set SWRI?

m8xx_wdt_install_timer doesn't need imap and you could call it from 
m8xx_wdt_timer_func to re-engange the timer resulting in less duplicated 
code. Just a cosmetic thing though.

Best,
