I therefore will remove this file and move gxp-wdt to the hpe,gxp-timer.yaml as a child node.

Krzysztof,
Apologies, I did miss the comment about the double spacing around the label and the label not being necessary. I will not make this mistake again. I became focused about the comment of mapping an entire register space which indirectly lead me on to the path which I am now having the gxp-timer have the gxp-wdt as a child. To be specific the feedback I was speaking of above was about the gxp-timer which is here: https://lore.kernel.org/all/704ffa56-4bae-fc33-fddf-3e3dd8be0db9@linaro.org/ That is the children must be defined for a simple-mfd device. Hence the plan I have now is to remove the hpe,gxp-wdt.yaml entirely and include it in the hpe,gxp-timer.yaml. I assume that is the correct thing to do?
Thank you for your time and feedback,
-Nick
