To reduce code duplicate and increase code readability use WDT core
code to handle WDT interface.

Remove io_lock as the WDT core uses mutex to lock each wdt device.
Remove wdt_state as the WDT core tracks state with its own variable.

The watchdog_init_timeout() can read timeout value from timeout-sec
property if the passed value is out of bounds. The heartbeat is
initialized in next way. If heartbeat is not set thought module
parameter, try to read it's value from WDT node timeout-sec property.
If node has no one, use default value.

The heartbeat is hold in wdd->timeout by WDT core, so use it in
order to set timeout period.

Minor suggestion regarding the SOB line which applies to
rest of the series as well. Typically your SOB line
should be the last one like below.

No need to repost the series just for that. The last
patch as I commented earlier, needs to be separate
patch which will go via linux-keystone tree.

Once the watchdog maintainer is happy with rest of the
series and applies it, I will pick last patch.

Thanks, Santosh
I'll take note.
