The SMC function ID may be solved by the DTS, but the wdt indexs(Eg:
SMCWD_INFO) are also different
for each vendor. The imx_sc_wdt.c is also use the SMC to operate the
WDT, but the wdt indexs(Eg: IMX_SIP_TIMER_START_WDOG)
are different from ours. IMO, If the ATF can implement a common hal
interface and index for watchdog, then writing a
common smc wdt driver will be easier to compatible with all vendors.
