By default, the driver suspends the watchdog in low power modes (STOP
and DOZE). In some situations this is not desired.

Add the possibility to configure the continuation of the watchdog timer
in the above mentioned low power modes.

Note:
Please be advised that the difference between the variable name and the
device tree option has been intentionally selected to uphold the
prevailing driver functionality. This ensures that the watchdog remains
suspended by default in low power mode, while also facilitating a clear
and intelligible device tree option name.

Please organize the patch documenting the compatible (DT bindings)
before the patch using that compatible.
