I assumed that it has the same impact as WDZST bit, which is also set 
for imx7d. So probably no impact. But I'm not really sure (unfortunately 
I don't have access to imx7d to test). If I understand correctly the 
"no-ping" variable is used because there is no support for low-power 
modes for imx7d. So imx7d devices never enter any of the low-power modes 
so WDZST and WDW bit shouldn't have effect on that.

What I wanted to do with this "fsl,suspend-in-wait" is that if people 
run into the problems where device resets undesirably during WAIT mode, 
they can set this property and the watchdog will be suspended in WAIT 
mode. Default behaviour of the driver stays the same if the flag is not set.

This was tested with imx6ul devices.
