The latter two don't really seem to be xilinx specific, it would be
reasonable to have a standard watchdog binding that mandates a common
format for them.

I'm not sure about the enable-once flag, which seems to just map to the
"nowayout" watchdog option that is not a hardware feature at all
and should probably be kept as a software setting only, rather than
settable through DT. If it is kept, it should have a standard name and
get turned into a boolean (present/absent) property rather than a
0/1 integer property.

The interval should really be specified in terms of seconds or miliseconds,
not in clock cycles.
