Wait...

Checking the Makefile in the drivers/watchdog directory:

ifneq (,$(filter $(SOC), mx31 mx35 mx5 mx6 vf610))
obj-y += imx_watchdog.o
endif

That is: watchdog is supported for other i.MX families. It is not
surprising if it is not working, I am surprised that hw_watchdog_init is
called, because imx_watchdog should not be compiled.

I have not checked inside MX23 manual, but if it is as in MX28 you have
to enable the watchdog inside the RTC. It works in a different way as in
other imx, and the current driver is not suitable for MX23. You have to
add support for it.

Best regards,
