[PATCH 0/3] watchdog: omap: Preserve OMAP watchdog across boot to detect faulty boots

[Diogo Ivo]

Allow the OMAP watchdog to survive being stopped on kernel initialization
so it can detect a faulty boot in cases where the bootloader leaves it
running and the watchdog driver picks it up during kernel init.

- Patch 1 removes a duplicate omap_wdt_start() call left behind by
cd004d8299f1 ("watchdog: Fix OMAP watchdog early handling"). This is
unrelated to the main goal of the series and can be picked up
independently.

- Patch 2 adds support for reading the watchdog boot status. Probe now
checks whether the watchdog is already running and takes it over instead
of blindly stopping it based on early_enable alone. This introduces a
regression possibility, explained in detail in the patch's message.

- Patch 3 marks the OMAP4 watchdog node ti,no-reset-on-init so the
ti-sysc driver stops resetting it. A detailed explaination of why is
also provided in the commit message of the patch.

This series has been tested on a platform based on the VAR-SOM-OM44 from
Variscite, running a TI OMAP4460 SoC.
