I think Rob suggested that the SCU parent driver should instantiate the watchdog
without explicit watchdog node. That would be possible, but it currently uses
devm_of_platform_populate() to do the instantiation, and changing that would
be a mess. Besides, it does sem to me that your suggested node would describe
the hardware, so I am not sure I understand the reasoning.
For my part I referred to
watchdog_init_timeout(imx_sc_wdd, DEFAULT_TIMEOUT, &pdev->dev);
in the driver, which guarantees that the timeout property will not be used
to set the timeout. A more common implementation would have been
imx_sc_wdd->timeout = DEFAULT_TIMEOUT;
ret = watchdog_init_timeout(imx_sc_wdd, timeout, &pdev->dev);
where 'timeout' is the module parameter. Which is actually not used in your driver.
Hmm ... I wasn't careful enough with my review. The timeout initialization as-is
doesn't make sense. I'll comment on that in the patch.
