It doesn't sound like a bad idea, I'm just not convinced it's a good
idea ;)

Reading the SRC registers seems to give us more accurate informations
than reading the watchdog. Provided this is true I don't see a reason to
make the priority configurable. If it was only for i.MX6/7 I would say,
we could remove the reset source detection from the watchdog driver
entirely, but we need the informations from the driver on older SoCs.

Anyway, before making this configurable I think it's better to wait
until somebody to show up who really needs this (and thus can explain
the reasons), rather than to just add it in case it might be useful.
