I'll defer to the others on To/Cc to answer that.

My only position is I don't think changing behaviour of existing
drivers to exploit WDIOF_EXTERN1 as a graceful-reboot indicator is a
good idea either. Obviously I don't have much skin in the game with
watchdog maintenance, so my thoughts shouldn't have much influence
beyond the Aspeed-specifics, but I just didn't want to see some fun new
confusion or incompatibility arise as a result.
