For some devices which are controlled by system controller,
they are NOT present in device tree since no hardware info
needed, just register these devices as children of SCU device.
This patch registers i.MX system controller watchdog platform
device as child device of SCU.

I just realized ... since this is not a devm_ function, we now also need
error handling (if devm_of_platform_populate() fails) and a remove function.
Sorry for that - I should have noticed earlier.

Thanks, I will add error handling here once we make decision of putting device register
here, we have other scenarios may need to have watchdog node in DT, if Rob agree
to have it in DT, this patch will be discarded.

It looks strange to me that instantiate the watchdog device in SCU driver which
actually does not use SCU.

For me, it's actually a watchdog provided by ATF firmware, not SCU.
I explained this to Rob in another mail.
Let's see Rob's comments on it.

If Rob agrees, we can move watchdog node out of SCU and also do not
need instantiate it in SCU driver.
