The binding targets the Meson-A/C series compatible SoCs, in which the
watchdog registers are in secure world.

in v3 of this patch Rob commented that there shouldn't be an OF node
if there are no additional properties
with timeout-sec there's now an additional property so my
understanding is that it's fine to have an OF node

what I don't understand yet is where this node should be placed.
is it supposed to be a child node of the secure monitor node (for
which we already have a binding here:
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/firmware/meson/meson_sm.txt) or
where else would we place it inside the .dts?

Your understanding is correct.

IMO,  Although the watchdog node need to reference the meson_sm node, 
there is no
bus-like dependencies between the devices which the two nodes 
corresponding to.
so i think that the watchdog node as child node of meson_sm maybe not 
appropriate.

The watchdog driver needs the meson SM's dt node, and it depends on the existence
of that node. That seems enough of a relationship to warrant having it as child note.

Thanks for your reply, if i take the wdt node as child of secure monitor 
(sm), how should
i register or find the wdt device ?

I only think of the following three methods :
1). update the sm driver,and scan&register wdt device when the sm driver 
probes(It is like i2c), but there
are too many changes involved.

2). add "simple-bus" key string to compatible of sm node, and it will 
make the child node is registered as
platform device, but it seems that the key string is not match current 
scene.

secure-monitor {
     compatible = "amlogic,meson-gxbb-sm",  "simple-bus";

     watchdog {
         compatible = "amlogic,meson-sec-wdt";
         timeout-sec = <60>;
     }
}

3).  don't register device, and find directly the watchdog node by using 
the of_* API in watchdog
driver (Eg: linux-4.x/drivers/tee/optee/core.c)

secure-monitor {
     compatible = "amlogic,meson-gxbb-sm";

     watchdog {
         compatible = "amlogic,meson-sec-wdt";
         timeout-sec = <60>;
     }
}

The method 3 looks better for me, do you have a better suggestion ? Thanks

Just add of_platform_default_populate() call and clean-up calls. That's 
not what I'd call 'too many changes'.

You previously said it's not a bus...
