I would prefer to have one compatible and additional u32 property
pointing to cluster index. The driver would use this property to adjust
the PMU register offsets or bits.

Why? Because if next time you have three clusters, you will need to make
three compatibles for something which differs by only two register
offsets. Both watchdog instances (or three in some unspecified future)
are here the same, they just control different blocks, therefore should
accept some parameter instead of making them different compatibles.

Don't you require src clock on Exynos850?
