Where does the wdt actually come from ?

Is it in the SoC ? (which SoC exactly). SoC-builtin wdt is a pretty 
usual case.

Or some external chip ?

The code smells a bit like two entirely different wdt's that just have
some similarities. If that's the case, I'd rather split it into two
separate drivers and let the parent driver (board file) instantiate
the correct one.
