Hey Stephen-

Thanks for taking a look.

Yeah, the description of this thing is a bit awkward.

I'm not sure how I'd feel about just just adding "qcom,kpss-wdt" to the
timer node compatible.  I'm wondering if the WDT(s) should be a
subnode(s) of the timer node instead?

The percpu-ness of the two WDTs makes configuration even more
interesting, as it's possible you'd want to independently configure
timeouts for CPU0_WDT0 and CPU1_WDT0, supporting this with a coalesced
timer/wdt would be cumbersome.

Something like this perhaps:

	timer@200a000 {
		compatible = "qcom,kpss-timer", "qcom,msm-timer";
		interrupts = <1 1 0x301>,
			     <1 2 0x301>,
			     <1 3 0x301>;
		reg = <0x0200a000 0x100>;
		clock-frequency = <25000000>,
				  <32768>;
		cpu-offset = <0x80000>;

		#address-cells = <1>;
		#size-cells = <1>;
		ranges;

		cpu0_wdt0: watchdog@208a038 {
			compatible = "qcom,kpss-wdt";
			reg = <0x208a038 0x40>;
			interrupts = <1 4 0x301>,
			clocks = <&sleep_clk>;
			timeout-sec = <10>;
			cpu = <&cpu0>;
		};

		cpu0_wdt1: watchdog@208a060 {
			compatible = "qcom,kpss-wdt";
			reg = <0x208a060 0x40>;
			interrupts = <1 5 0x301>,
			clocks = <&sleep_clk>;
			timeout-sec = <20>;
			cpu = <&cpu0>;
		};

		cpu1_wdt0: watchdog@209a038 {
			compatible = "qcom,kpss-wdt";
			reg = <0x209a038 0x40>;
			interrupts = <1 4 0x301>,
			clocks = <&sleep_clk>;
			timeout-sec = <8>;
			cpu = <&cpu1>;
		};

		cpu1_wdt1: watchdog@209a060 {
			compatible = "qcom,kpss-wdt";
			reg = <0x209a060 0x40>;
			interrupts = <1 5 0x301>,
			clocks = <&sleep_clk>;
			timeout-sec = <15>;
			cpu = <&cpu1>;
		};
	};
