Those drivers do not use the watchdog core but re-implement its
functionality. RTC_DRV_M41T80_WDT was written before the watchdog
core existed, so this is understandable. You would have to ask the
author of RTC_DRV_DS1374_WDT support why it doesn't use the
watchdog core but re-implements it.

That is for you and the rtc maintainer to decide.
