IIUC, you are referring to WDT enumerated by ACPI tables (WDAT, WDRT etc) ?

On APL/BXT i think we pass the resource mapping to iTCO_WDT driver since
acpi_has_watchdog provides the required protection. For non ACPI-enabled
platforms we have this issue since iTCO_WDT driver anyway tries resource
mapping when the iTCO_version >=2.

Can someone please explain whether we can have iTCO_version >=2 for Intel
Core SoCs as well or its for Atom only?
