The SBSA watchdog driver is already in watchdog-next and will be merged 
into 4.6.  These five patches are necessary for the watchdog driver to 
probe on an ACPI system.

I'm guessing since that v4 was posted in the middle of the 4.6 merge 
window, that these patches won't make it and we'll have to wait until 
4.7 (at the earliest)?
