bcm63xx SoCs are supported in bcm63xx and bmips.
bcm63xx doesn’t have device tree support, but bmips does and this watchdog is already enabled for bmips.

Because __raw_writel() doesn’t have memory barriers and writel() does.
Those configs use the correct endiannes, so I don’t know what you mean...

Maybe add a note saying that this will only be supported for devicetree
based systems.

So are you saying that it already works with bmips_stb_defconfig
(because it is little endian), that bmips_stb_defconfig needs memory
barriers, and that bmips_be_defconfig doesn't need memory barriers ?
Odd, but I'll take you by your word. And other code does something
similar, so I guess there must be a reason for it.

Anyway, after looking into that other code, please use something like

if (IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_MIPS) && IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_CPU_BIG_ENDIAN))
__raw_writel(value, reg);
else
writel(value, reg);

It would be so nice to copy people, and the author of that driver who
could give you such an answer. Neither bmips_be_defconfig nor
bmips_stb_defconfig require barrier because the bus interface towards
registers that is used on those SoCs is non-reordering non-buffered.

I should mention though that using __raw_writel() with an ARM big-endian
would not work which is why {read,write}l_relaxed() should be preferred
such that all combinations work. A good example that has been proven to
work on BMIPS BE/LE and ARM BE/LE is bcmgenet.c
