sorry I may have missed some previous discussion details. As far as I
can read, I understand you could instantiate the wdt in a free MMIO
slot, unconfitionnaly just as it is done in hw/arm/sbsa-ref.c. Maybe add
a compat to avoid having it by default on older machine types. Then
about the type of the integration gtdt or wat, can't you have a device
compat?

Thanks

Eric
