WDI is name of logic used in the datasheet, it is abbreviation of
WatchDog Input (meaning that from watchdog chip this GPIO has input
direction).

I'm not sure if we need to put gpio direction into the property name or
also word watchdog (or its some abbrev) into name. As node is already
named "watchdog" and direction depends on point of view (chip vs CPU),
which can be in DTS misleading (because DTS describe direction from CPU
point of view).

What for sure makes sense is extending description by explaining WDI
abbreviation.
