When is that useful?

For booleans use an empty property and of_property_read_bool.

If these can currently be handled identically, why not just have
"cdns,wdt-r1p2" in the driver and in your dts have:

compatible = "xlnx,zynq-wdt-r1p2", "cdns,wdt-r1p2";

If we need to distinguish the two for some reason later we can always
add the "xlnx,zynq-wdt-r1p2" string to the driver.

Cheers,
Mark.
