As described in section 12.5.2.1 of AM64x TRM 
(https://www.ti.com/lit/pdf/SPRUIM2) -There is a RTI for each CPU core. 
And it is not intended to be use RTI provisioned for a particular CPU 
core with a different core.
And also as shown in section (5.2.2.2.1.3.1) the CPU core and 
corresponding RTI share the same power sub module (LPSC), so enabling 
one powers on the other.

As Suman suggested, it seems more appropriate to enable the RTI watchdog 
timers in the remoteproc driver. Legacy omap remoteproc drivers have 
this support and needs to be extended to k3 remoteproc drivers.
Another option could be to DEFER RTI probe until corresponding 
remoteproc driver is probed.

Any other solutions to maintain this order of enabling remote core and 
the corresponding RTI/WDT?
