I think you need to ping the watchdog before enabling the interrupt, in 
case there is a pending interrupt.  This just happened to me in testing, 
so I recommend this:

In fact, I think you need to move the "if (action) {" block near the end 
of sbsa_gwdt_probe().  We don't want to enable the interrupt until the 
watchdog is fully initialized.
