Each A72 core has one watchdog instance associated with it. Since J742S2
has 4 A72 cores, the common file should not define 8 watchdog instances.

Refactor the last 4 watchdogs from the common file to J784S4-specific
file, as J784S4 has 8 A72 cores and thus hardware definition requires
8 watchdog instances.

Additionally, if there is user-visible breakage seen on j742s2, will be good to
mention that as well.
