Looks like we also need to do this for the twl4030 I2C companion chip
on omap 2430 and 34xx.

So we'll do something like this for now then:

static void omap_wdt_ping(struct omap_wdt_dev *wdev)
{

...

    retu_wdt_ping(wdev);
    twl4030_wdt_ping(wdev);
    
...

}

Then have retu_wdt_ping() and twl4030_wdt_ping() functions defined as
empty static inline functions if not enabled.

Thanks Alan & Wim.
