The comment format is a bit odd. It would be nicer on top of the
variable.

That will result in a double kfree because the data belongs to the
wdt_info structure. It is not a pointer allocated. So when the
wdt_info will be freed, it will free the area already freed by this
function.
Please note, a timer should never be unloaded, so not sure if the wdt
should handle the case.

The block above seems to be a bit wobbly as it relies on
vt8500_timer_init() to have succeeded.
Why not have vt8500_timer_probe() called by vt8500_timer_init() (with
a proper name like vt8500_timer_wdt_init()) ?

Is it possible kzalloc to return -EPROBE_DEFER ?

The two fields above can be merged into one : wdt_info->regbase
Move TIMER_WATCHDOG_EN_REG to the watchdog driver code.
And as TIMER_MATCH_REG(__channel) == 4 * (__channel),
then TIMER_MATCH_REG == 0, so regbase + 0 == regbase

Remove kfree because of devm_kzalloc
