Does this have the effect of stopping the watchdog? Maybe we can have a
more expressive function name here (imx2_wdt_stop_clk or similar)?

Is there some watchdog core policy that tells if the watchdog should be
stopped on unload?

Does the core put this info in the kernel log? If not dropping it isn't
obviously right enough to be done en passant.

I also wonder about this one. This changes the timing behaviour and so
IMHO shouldn't be done as a side effect of a cleanup patch.
