Interesting, I did not even know that until you pointed this out (and 
it's funny that I found that I actually reviewed arm,sp805.txt 
internally in Broadcom code review).

It looks like one was done by Bhupesh Sharma (sp805-wdt.txt) and the 
other was done by Anup Patel (arm,sp805.txt). Both were merged at the 
same time around March 20, 2016: 915c56bc01d6. I'd assume both were sent 
out at around the same time.

It sounds like we should definitely remove one of them. Given that 
sp805-wdt.txt appears to have more detailed descriptions on the use of 
the clocks, should we remove arm,sp805.txt?

Thanks,

Ray
