Exynos850 SoC has two CPU clusters:
  - cluster 0: contains CPUs #0, #1, #2, #3
  - cluster 1: contains CPUs #4, #5, #6, #7

Each cluster has its own dedicater watchdog timer. Those WDT instances
are controlled using different bits in PMU registers, so there should be
two different compatible strings (for each cluster), to tell the driver
which bits to use for each WDT instance.

Also on Exynos850 the peripheral clock and the source clock are two
different clocks. Provide a way to specify two clocks in watchdog device
tree node.

I would prefer to have one compatible and additional u32 property
pointing to cluster index. The driver would use this property to adjust
the PMU register offsets or bits.

Why? Because if next time you have three clusters, you will need to make
three compatibles for something which differs by only two register
offsets. Both watchdog instances (or three in some unspecified future)
are here the same, they just control different blocks, therefore should
accept some parameter instead of making them different compatibles.
Agreed. I considered both cases, both looked ugly to me. But having
one compatible is probably better in the end, although it'll require
some additional code in the driver. Anyway, will be done in v2, will
send it soon.

Don't you require src clock on Exynos850?
Will be addressed in v2 properly, thanks.
