Unfortunately I didn't find a way how to do it with less code. If you see a
way to optimize it please let me know.
hw_watchdog_init is not using DM. I used similar solution which is used by
turris omnia.

Code needs to handle reference to watchdog_dev  that's why the code is
there.

The reason is that it depends how exactly you want to use it.
Also adding dependency on WATCHDOG not WDT is reasonable because you can
just start watchdog in u-boot
but never service it. It should enable you and option to boot till certain
time or reboot.
I have tested that this setting is working. I haven't tested if Linux
cadence driver can handle it but that's different topic.

Definitely please let me know if you see any issue with this patch.

Thanks,
Michal
