[PATCH] watchdog: bcm2835_wdt: set WDOG_HW_RUNNING bit when appropriate

From: Rasmus Villemoes <hidden>
Date: 2016-12-12 09:48:46

A bootloader may start the watchdog device before handing control to
the kernel - in that case, we should tell the kernel about it so the
watchdog framework can keep it alive until userspace opens
/dev/watchdog0.

I don't believe our current bootloaders (the closed firmware or u-boot)
set up the watchdog, but this seems reasonable since they might want to
later.
