[PATCH] watchdog_dev: Use device tree alias for naming watchdogs

[Justin Chen]

Currently there is no way to easily differentiate multiple
watchdog devices. The watchdogs are named by the order they
are probed.
1st probed watchdog: /dev/watchdog0
2nd probed watchdog: /dev/watchdog1
...

This change uses the alias of the watchdog device node for
the name of the watchdog.
aliases {
	watchdog0 = "/...../...."
	watchdog3 = "/..../....."
	watchdog2 = "/..../....."
	...
}

This will translate to...
/dev/watchdog0
/dev/watchdog3
/dev/watchdog2
