The watchdog support in EL1 is SBSA compliant, handled by Gunyah
hypervisor, but in EL2. the watchdog is an instance of the APSS WDT HW
block, same as older platforms. So describe the APSS WDT node and mark
it as reserved, as it will only be enabled in EL2 overlay.

This is technically incorrect - it's not accessible if Gunyah is
present, which is only somewhat related - if you run a different
hypervisor which doesn't explicitly block access to this region, you
can still access it even though Linux may be running at EL1
Fair enough. But in the case where you have a different hypervisor,
I guess the EL2 dtso should be used.

So, since AFAIK all devices come with Gunyah by default, it makes sense
to mark it as reserved (or disable it otherwise) and then enable it in EL2
dtso.
I'm just stingy about the wording. Perhaps:

status = "reserved"; /* Reserved by Gunyah */

?
Sure, will do.
The patch looks good otherwise
