[Linux-stm32] [RFC PATCH 2/3] watchdog: arm_smc_wdt: try every id of arm, smc-id

The SMC function id of the watchdog service is not discoverable, and
firmware for the same SoC does not always use the same one: on the
STM32MP2 SoCs it is 0xbc000000 (the OP-TEE default for the platform) or
0xb200005a. With a single id in the SoC dtsi, every board whose firmware
uses the other id loses its watchdog.

Read arm,smc-id as a list and use the first id for which SMCWD_INIT
succeeds. Go to the next id on any error: OP-TEE answers an unknown
function id with 0xffffffff in a0, which smcwd_call() reports as -EIO,
not -ENODEV. A missing property still means 0x82003D06.
