[Linux-stm32] [PATCH v3 1/1] drivers: watchdog: stm32_iwdg: set WDOG_HW_RUNNING at probe

If the watchdog hardware is already enabled during the boot process,
when the Linux watchdog driver loads, it should start/reset the watchdog
and tell the watchdog framework. As a result, ping can be generated from
the watchdog framework (if CONFIG_WATCHDOG_HANDLE_BOOT_ENABLED is set),
until the userspace watchdog daemon takes over control

Fixes:4332d113c66a ("watchdog: Add STM32 IWDG driver")

Changes since v2:
According to Guenter
removed intermediate variable

I've tested some config and it is working as expected:
Watchdog enable in Uboot + HANDLE_BOOT_ENABLE is not set + daemon watchdog in userland ON ==> No reset IWDG2
Watchdog enable in Uboot + HANDLE_BOOT_ENABLE is not set ==> Reset IWDG2
Watchdog enable in Uboot + HANDLE_BOOT_ENABLE=y ==> No reset IWDG2
Watchdog enable in Uboot + HANDLE_BOOT_ENABLE=y + daemon watchdog in userland ON puis OFF ==> Reset IWDG2
Watchdog disable in Uboot + HANDLE_BOOT_ENABLE is not set ==> No reset IWDG2
Watchdog disable in Uboot + HANDLE_BOOT_ENABLE=y ==> No reset IWDG2
Watchdog disable in Uboot + HANDLE_BOOT_ENABLE=y + daemon watchdog in userland ON ==> No reset IWDG2
Watchdog disable in Uboot + HANDLE_BOOT_ENABLE=y + daemon watchdog in userland ON puis OFF ==> Reset IWDG2

Thanks,
Christophe
