Hi,

V3 of the patch allowing sunxi watchdog to remain enabled after probe.
This 3rd version is mainly about code cleanup.

Best regards,
Regis

Jernej Škrabec:
  I wouldn't add checks on CONFIG_WATCHDOG_HANDLE_BOOT_ENABLED here.
  My understanding is that this config is already managed in the generic
  watchdog part, as long as the WDOG_HW_RUNNING bit matches the actual
  state of the HW watchdog timer.
  I only saw one reference in a HW driver, stm32_iwdg, where they cannot
  read the watchdog state, so they start it and set the WDOG_HW_RUNNING
  bit so that both match.
