Title:
  missing support for Geode/CS5535 hardware watchdog

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  SRU Justification:

  Impact: the AMD Geode is a x86 SOC processor containing, among other things, an hardware watchdog but
  as it stands now, we don't compile the necessary code to support it in the Precise kernel.

  Fix: compile the GEODEWDT driver and the timer code (CS5535_MFGPT).

  Testcase: install a kernel with the driver compiled as a module, load
  it and look for the presence of /dev/watchdog:

  sudo modprobe geodewdt

  dmesg:
  ...
  [  344.011123] cs5535-mfgpt cs5535-mfgpt: registered timer 0

  ls -la /dev/watchdog
  crw------- 1 root root 10, 130 Oct 22 17:54 /dev/watchdog
