It appears I was wrong. There's one small patch missing to get support
for the F71889FG watchdog:
dee00abbbcab97b8ee3bbafb5e786dde83e26741 watchdog: f71808e_wdt: add support for the F71889FG
Interestingly, trying to load the bundled f71808e_wdt doesn't print a
error, which would be something about no device being found or
something like that:
# modprobe f71808e_wdt
FATAL: Error inserting f71808e_wdt (/lib/modules/2.6.32-5-amd64/kernel/drivers/watchdog/f71808e_wdt.ko): Kernel does not have module support
Please take whichever decision you want wrt this driver, considering
the release schedule, I'd understand if that's wontfix for now.
However, since I now don't need to rebuild the kernel for the shared
I/O region support, fixing the lack of support for my chip is trivial
on my end.
Leaving the bug closed, as it was more about the shared I/O region
support.
Cheers,
Mike
