This allows to configure reaction between NMI and reset for WWD.

On K3 SoC's other than AM62L SoC [0], watchdog reset output is routed
to the ESM module which can subsequently route the signal to safety
master or SoC reset. On AM62L, the watchdog reset output is routed
to the SoC HW reset block. So, add a new compatible for AM62l to add
SoC data and configure reaction to reset instead of NMI.

I think where we had issues before was this comment, it should match the code
and it can do so while being very similar to the comment as it was before:

/* When WDT expires, generate an NMI or reset the device if NMI is not supported */

oops, sorry, will fix... again

Should be rare, but this can fail to find match data so you should
check for NULL here. Then as above, just extract out the data you
need (nmi).


Thanks for reviewing!
I will fix accordingly and respin the series.
