I thought the "depends on IMX_SCU" was already added in Kconfig, that means
the module will be ONLY built with IMX_SCU enabled, and watchdog will be always
enabled if IMX_SCU is enabled. Is it safe enough?

Other modules depend on the IMX_SCU IPC will have defer probe there to make
sure IMX_SCU driver is ready for IPC handle, since watchdog driver ONLY uses
ARM SMC but no IPC call, so I did NOT add the defer probe handle here, so if adding
it can answer your question/concern, then I can add it, although I think the dependency
in Kconfig should be good here. Without SCU firmware ready, the SoC does NOT boot
up A core with ATF/Linux at all.

Thanks,
Anson.
