watchdog: bd9576: Drop "always-running" property
The always-running (from linux,wdt-gpio.yaml) is abused by the BD9576 watchdog driver. It's defined meaning is "the watchdog is always running and can not be stopped". The BD9576 watchdog driver has implemented it as "start watchdog when loading the module and prevent it from being stopped". Furthermore, the implementation does not set the WDOG_HW_RUNNING when enabling the watchdog due to the "always-running" at module loading. This will end up resulting a watchdog timeout if the device is not opened. The culprit was pointed out by Guenter, discussion can be found from https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/4fa3a64b-60fb-4e5e-8785-0f14da37eea2@roeck-us.net/ Drop the invalid "always-running" handling.
