[PATCH RFC] Watchdog: sbsa_gwdt: Enhance timeout range

Currently only WOR is used to program both first and second stage which
provided very limited range of timeout.
This patch uses WCV as well to achieve higher range of timeout. This patch
programs max_timeout as 255, but that can be increased further as well.
Following testing shows that we can happily achieve 40 second default timeout.
# modprobe sbsa_gwdt action=1
[ 131.187562] sbsa-gwdt sbsa-gwdt.0: Initialized with 40s timeout @ 250000000 Hz, action=1.
# cd /sys/class/watchdog/watchdog0/

panic() is called upon timeout of 40s. See timestamp of last kick (cat) and
next panic() message.

* SBSA GWDT:

- * |--------WOR-------WS0--------WOR-------WS1
+ * |--------WCV-------WS0--------WCV-------WS1
* |----timeout-----(panic)----timeout-----reset
*

+ * |------WCV-----WS0(ignored)-----WOR------WS1
* |--------------timeout-------------------reset
*
- * Note: Since this watchdog timer has two stages, and each stage is determined
- * by WOR, in the single stage mode, the timeout is (WOR * 2); in the two
- * stages mode, the timeout is WOR. The maximum timeout in the two stages mode
- * is half of that in the single stage mode.
+ * Note: This watchdog timer has two stages. If action is 0, first stage is
+ * determined by directly programming WCV and second by WOR. When first
+ * timeout is reached, WS0 is triggered and WCV is reloaded with value in
+ * WOR. WS0 interrupt will be ignored, then the second watch period starts;
+ * when second timeout is reached, then WS1 is triggered, system resets. WCV
+ * and WOR are programmed in such a way that total time corresponding to
+ * WCV+WOR becomes equivalent to user programmed "timeout".
+ * If action is 1, then we expect to call panic() at user programmed
+ * "timeout". Therefore, we program both first and second stage using WCV
+ * only.
