Add option to use with watchdog timers which are always enabled
in hardware, i.e. there is no way to enable/disable it via GPIO pin.
The driver will start pinging WDT immediately upon loading
and will continue to do so even after stopping the watchdog.
The headline needs a reference to the affected driver.
Also, please copy the dt mailing list and maintainers.

This will cause a problem if register_reboot_notifier failed. You'll have
to implement proper error handling for this case, something like the following.
...
priv->notifier.notifier_call = gpio_wdt_notify_sys;
ret = register_reboot_notifier(&priv->notifier);
if (ret)
goto unregister;
if (priv->always_enabled)
gpio_wdt_enable(priv);

unregister:
watchdog_unregister_device(&priv->wdd);
return ret;
