If you want to do it for all then please remove the same from this file

http://git.denx.de/?p=u-boot.git;a=commitdiff;h=4490e013ee4f2a4b9b6ca9224221fed2788b6940

+#if defined(CONFIG_WDT) && !defined(CONFIG_SPL_BUILD)
+       /* bss is not cleared at time when watchdog_reset() is called */
+       watchdog_dev = NULL;
+#endif


And also from zynq file.
board/xilinx/zynq/board.c
