[PATCH 1/2] rtc: ds1374: wdt: Fix issue with timeout scaling from secs to wdt ticks

[Moritz Fischer]

Fix commit 920f91e50c5b ("drivers/rtc/rtc-ds1374.c: add watchdog support")

The issue is that the internal counter that triggers the watchdog reset
is actually running at 4096 Hz instead of 1Hz, therefore the value
given by userland (in sec) needs to be multiplied by 4096 to get the
correct behavior.
