I think the difference in this case is that each of the 2 per-cpu WDTs
can conceivably be registered independently, each with their own default
timeout configuration.  If we wanted to allow the most flexibility, it
seemed to me that making use of subnodes would be the best, but maybe
you have some other idea.

Where'd the default timeout configuration go?  Or, should we have one
timeout-sec property and not allow setting the default timeouts per WDT
instance?  Or no configurable timeout at all?

Ah, yeah, now that I think about it, it's fairly straightforward to map
backward using the parent cpu-offset to determine the corresponding CPU,
so it wouldn't be necessary.
