[PATCH 2/4] watchdog: implement generic support for .running device parameter

[Ahmad Fatoum <a.fatoum@pengutronix.de>]

Linux watchdog have an optional WDOG_HW_RUNNING bit that is used in
conjunction with CONFIG_WATCHDOG_HANDLE_BOOT_ENABLED to automatically
ping running watchdogs until userspace takes over.

So far, when we ported Linux drivers, we dropped this detection, but it
would be useful to have this information in barebox as well:

The American Megatrends BIOS I am using allows configuring the hardware
watchdog from the BIOS. barebox enables the WDT as well, so in normal
operation we would never notice if after a BIOS update, the watchdog is
no longer enabled. If we maintain a running parameter on watchdog
devices, board code can be written to check whether the watchdog device
is indeed running.

To achieve this, add the necessary bits to the watchdog API. How we go
about it differs from Linux a little:

- We use a status_supported bitmask to differentiate between watchdogs
  that are not running and watchdogs whose running status is
  unknown.
- Because we can check the status_supported bitmask watchdog_hw_running
  can fail and would return a negative value
- We do the maintenance of the running parameter after barebox
  feeds/disables the watchdog in the core, so it doesn't need to
  be replicated across drivers. Drivers will only need to initialize the
  bitmasks once at probe time.
