[PATCH 4/5] watchdog: Add Hexagon EFI watchdog driver

The EFI system co-processor implements a watchdog device which must be
pinged to inform the MCU that the system is up and running.
Normaly the ping is done by Linux but sometimes it can become necessary
to do it within barebox too, e.g. to allow barebox debugging and
development.
