It looks strange to me that instantiate the watchdog device in SCU driver which
actually does not use SCU.

For me, it's actually a watchdog provided by ATF firmware, not SCU.
I explained this to Rob in another mail.
Let's see Rob's comments on it.

If Rob agrees, we can move watchdog node out of SCU and also do not
need instantiate it in SCU driver.
