Ok.

I understand that "board design and configuration" may hinder the wdt
to issue a hard reset. But all others are able to issue a soft reset
or just an interrupt, right?

So, I still don't see why we should disable wdt nodes by default
except for the driver issue above.

No. I'd agree to enable wdt0 by default and leave wdt[1,2] disabled
because of the driver issue. Patches 5-8 only enable wdt0 anyway.

As soon as the driver issue is resolved, we enable all wdt nodes
unconditionally.
