This change surfaced some complex issue in the K3 core: Turning on the
RTI1 watchdog also powers up R5F core 1. And this could happen either in
U-Boot or in the kernel. If the kernel finds the core running, it also
expects a resource table in the reserved RAM. But as the core is
supposed to start via remoteproc, there is none, rather often garbage.
Sometimes, a consistency check catches that, but not always:

(this crash was with a stable kernel, but same issue with head of tree)

This raises several questions:
 - Is it a hardware property that RTI1 powers up core 1 as well?
 - If so, how can we use both watchdog and remoteproc so that the latter
   loads the firmware for the former? We are currently doing that from 
   U-Boot, but what if that is not desired? Should the watchdog driver 
   take care to not leave core 1 in a different power state behind?
 - Can and should we do more while parsing the resource table to prevent
   such crashes?
