Introducing vendor specific properties for Linux behavior should be
avoided. The DT should describe just the hardware.

In case i.mx7d is affected, how about enabling this workaround for
compatible fsl,imx7d-wdt? This has the advantage that in case low power
mode will be implemented
<https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/latest/B/ident/fsl%2Cimx7d-wdt>, we
don't have to care about DTB files.

Best regards
