Sorry I'm a little late on this one, but we should probably also add
some words to the effect that if you specify aspeed,external-signal,
then you also need to ensure the pinmux is configured for this to work.
For example in the devicetree we need to add:

    pinctrl-names = "default";
    pinctrl-0 = <&pinctrl_wdtrst1_default>;

Now the name of the pinctrl node isn't set in stone, so I don't think
we should mention it directly. However this is the essence of what we
want to describe.

Cheers,

Andrew
