What I don't understand is why do we need "wdt-reboot" for i.MX in U-Boot?

The i.MX watchdog driver is capable of resetting via internal watchdog
or via a WDOG_B pin when the fsl,ext-reset-output property is passed.

Right. This is the point I don't understand: why do we need a U-Boot
wdt-reboot implementation in the first place?

The imx watchdog works in the kernel with DT. Why can't you just use
the same binding in U-Boot?

Thanks
