[PATCH v6 1/3] dt-bindings: watchdog: ti,rti-wdt: Add support for WDIOF_CARDRESET

From: Li Hua Qian <huaqian.li at siemens.com>

TI RTI (Real Time Interrupt) Watchdog doesn't support to record the
watchdog cause. Add a reserved memory to know the last reboot was caused
by the watchdog card. In the reserved memory, some specific info will be
saved to indicate whether the watchdog reset was triggered in last
boot.
