    watchdog: Introduce WDOG_HW_RUNNING flag · ee142889
    Guenter Roeck authored
    The WDOG_HW_RUNNING flag is expected to be set by watchdog drivers if
    the hardware watchdog is running. If the flag is set, the watchdog
    subsystem will ping the watchdog even if the watchdog device is closed.
    
    The watchdog driver stop function is now optional and may be omitted
    if the watchdog can not be stopped. If stopping the watchdog is not
    possible but the driver implements a stop function, it is responsible
    to set the WDOG_HW_RUNNING flag in its stop function.
