The driver uses devm_add_action_or_reset() to register sprd_wdt_disable()
as a managed cleanup action.

When devm_watchdog_register_device() fails, the devm core will invoke
the cleanup action automatically.

The explicit sprd_wdt_disable() call in the error path is therefore
redundant and results in adouble cleanup.
