Fallback you mentioned make code look simple. Is below representation correct for above mentioned fallback? 

properties:
  compatible:
    oneOf:
      - const: marvell,cn9670-wdt
      - items:
          - enum:
              - marvell,cn9880-wdt
              - marvell,cnf9535-wdt
          - const: marvell,cn9670-wdt
      - const: marvell,cn10624-wdt
      - items:
          - enum:
              - marvell,cn10308-wdt
              - marvell,cnf10518-wdt
          - const: marvell,cn10624-wdt


And driver will have
        { .compatible = "marvell,cn9670-wdt", .data = &match_data_octeontx2},
        { .compatible = "marvell,cn10624-wdt", .data = &match_data_cn10k},
