[PATCH v2] watchdog: imx2: fix hang-up on boot for i.MX21, i.MX27 and i.MX31 SoCs

Power down counter enable/disable bit switch is located in WMCR register,
but watchdog controllers found on legacy i.MX21, i.MX27 and i.MX31 SoCs
don't have this register. As a result of writing data to the non-existing
register on driver probe the SoC hangs up, to fix the problem add more OF
compatible strings and on this basis get information about availability of
the WMCR register.

Changes from v1 to v2:
* removed i.MX27 and i.MX31 compatibles from the list, since it is expected
  that their DTB files has a reference to the listed i.MX21 compatible,
  many thanks to Uwe Kleine-König for the hint,
* start the list of compatibles from an i.MX35 specific one, since it is
  agreed that i.MX35 precedes i.MX25, thanks to Uwe Kleine-König for review,
* added a comment describing any potential changes in future over the list
  of watchdog compatible values,
* added all collected tags to the commit message.

Changes from RFC to v1:
* replaced private data struct with a macro as suggested by Guenter,
* updated the comment in the source code to reflect the change,
* rearranged and simplified the logic of detecting WMCR presence,
* pulled the fix out from the series with optional proposed DTS changes.
