I have tested your patch on the meson-A1, but I use the compatible 
strings to correlate the following platform differencesïit works normally.

static const struct smcwd_data smcwd_mtk_data = {
	.func_id = 0x82003d06,
	.ops     = &smcwd_ops,
}

static const struct smcwd_data smcwd_meson_data = {
	.func_id = 0x82000086,
	.ops     = &smcwd_timeleft_ops,
}

In addition, It looks more reasonable to use the "msec" as the unit of 
timeout parameter for the ATF fw interface with SMCWD_SET_TIMEOUT:

- The fw interface will compatible with the uboot generic watchdog 
interface at [0], and there is no need to convert timeout from msec
to sec.

- Some vendor's watchdog may be not support the "wdt_trigger_reset" 
reset operation, but they can use the method below to reset the system
by the watchdog right now.

watchdog_set_time(1);  //1ms
watchdog_enable();
