Changes in v3:
- Remove one if checking and use variable directly
Looks good.

All the above properties are optional. Is a warning really
warranted in this case ? I usually associate a warning with
something that is wrong, which is not the case here.
I would encourage you to drop those warnings, but that should be
a separate patch.
I agree with Guenter: these are not really warnings. Seperate patch is thus welcome.
Hi
I support Michal intention, I think it is a warning because device tree blob must have the "xlnx,wdt-enable-once" property specified in order to allow the system to be sure of the real value of this property. In addition to, this warning can be helpful to detect a wrong device tree specification.
The dt documentation states that the properties are optional.
Optional properties:
- clock-frequency : Frequency of clock in Hz
- xlnx,wdt-enable-once : 0 - Watchdog can be restarted
1 - Watchdog can be enabled just once
- xlnx,wdt-interval : Watchdog timeout interval in 2^<val> clock cycles,
<val> is integer from 8 to 31.
This clearly conflicts with your statement. An optional property
is just that, optional. If it warrants a warning, it must
not be optional. If you claim that not providing the properties
would be "wrong", why are they defined as optional ?
What is your definition of "wrong" and "must have" ?
How do you expect anyone to know that omitting those
"optional" properties is by some definition "wrong" ?
