Hi Santosh,

Commit ff2516fb 'wd_timer: disable on boot via hwmod postsetup mechanism'
introduced watchdog timer state state management using postsetup_state.
This was done to allow some board files to support watchdog coverage
throughout kernel initialization and it work as intended when RUNTIME_PM
is enabled.

With !CONFIG_RUNTIME_PM and no board is specifically requests watchdog
to remain enabled the omap_wdt_probe crashesh. This is because hwmod
in absense of runtime PM unable to turn watchdog clocks because it's
state is set to be disabled. For rest of the device, the state is
set as enabled in absense of RUNTIME_PM

This patch make the default watchdog state to be enabled in case of
!CONFIG_RUNTIME_PM. This fixes the crash

Paul, I am not too sure if it breaks your _shutdown idea of watchdog
timer.
Maybe.  What happens in a case where the bootloader enables the watchdog, 
but the booting kernel is compiled with !CONFIG_OMAP_WATCHDOG and 
!CONFIG_PM_RUNTIME?  Won't the watchdog reset the MPU unexpectedly in that 
case?  Or am I missing something...
