Thank you for your detailed and clear explanation.

"mediatek,mt6589-wdt" provides the mtk watchdog support and the SoC-
specific compatibles is for reset controls to standard wdt.

"mediatek,mt6589-wdt" is compatible with mt8186, mt8195 and mt7986 and
just not support the reset controls. 

Based on the discussion of email thread, please drop my series.


Thanks to everyone for your comments.
