Hi Wolfram,

Thank you for the review.

Sorry for not being clear WDTDCR register is not present on the
RZ/V2H(P) SoC, and is required on RZ/T2H (and RZ/N2H) SoC to
start/stop down counting.

The WDTDCR register is placed somewhere out and yes we need a separate
resource for it.

Below is the node for RZ/T2H SoC:
wdt0: watchdog@80082000 {
compatible = "renesas,r9a09g077-wdt";
reg = <0 0x80082000 0 0x400>,
<0 0x81295100 0 0x04>;
clocks = <&cpg CPG_CORE R9A09G077_CLK_PCLKL>;
clock-names = "pclk";
power-domains = <&cpg>;
status = "disabled";
};

Cheers,
