It seems that the comments I put on v1 remains unresolved.

I do not think clock-names and reset-names are really necessary, since
there is only one clock and reset signal.

We need a vendor prefix for vendor specific property.

I think we need some comments for bindings users to understand the
different role between "resets" and "wdt-reset-sysctrl". Also, why is
wdt-reset-sysctrl is optional? Does it still work well without this
property.

What does the suffix "ares" mean? I guess "wdt" is good enough as the
label name.
