Add a start_enabled module parameter to the omap_wdt that starts the
watchdog on module insertion. The default value is 0 which does not
start the watchdog - which also does not change the behaviour if the

behavior

parameter is not given.

Please name the parameter early_enable. We have one driver with early_disable,
so this makes it at least to some degree generic.

Please drop the define. Static variables do not need to be initialized to 0.
Cirumventing that with a define to defeat the resulting warning isn't really
the idea.

+module_param(start_enabled, bool, 0);

and just make this default=0.
