^^ Please don't state in commit message the actual change you are
doing.. We can see that from the diffstat. There are lots of
documentation now a days on smart commit messages, I suggest reading
those.

I think what you are doing here is to fix a typo in the example
provided to match with the compatible that is supposed to be used.

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/Documentation//devicetree/bindings/watchdog/ti,rti-wdt.yaml#n26

While this change is valid, please:
a) Rewrite the commit message
b) Fix $subject "dt-bindings: watchdog: change node name to generic"
"dt-bindings: watchdog" is a huge range of watchdog driver scope, you
want to narrow it to the ti,rti
dt-bindings: watchdog: ti,rti:" or What ever wdt/dt maintainers may prefer.

"change node name to generic" -> yes, diff tells us that, you are trying
to fix a typo in the example, so please use the word fix to indicate
this is a fixup, not a new 'change' ..

c) Please CC subsystem maintainers.. I suppose these go through
subsystem maintainer trees once Rob Acks..
