If there is no difference between the OMAP3 and the OMAP4 WDT IP, just 
add one entry "ti,omap3-wdt". And then in the OMAP4 DTS you will just 
put : compatible = "ti,omap3-wdt"; or compatible =  "ti,omap4-wdt", 
"ti,omap3-wdt";
I'm still a little bit confused about the real need for the 
"ti,omap4-wdt: entry, but it seems to be the way to do it in PPC.

No, in fact this is not needed. We need that mainly when several 
instances can match the same driver and thus we select the proper one 
using the of_match_device. Otherwise, just check is the device_node is 
there.

In that case, the driver does not even care about any DT node so there 
is no need to add extra code for that. Keep it simple.
