watchdog: armada_37xx: Fix compliance with kernel's driver
The Armada 37xx watchdog driver was recently accepted for mainline
kernel by watchdog subsystem maintainer, but the driver works a little
different than the one in U-Boot. This patch fixes this.
In the previous implementation there was a tiny period of time when the
watchdog was disabled and the system was vulnerables - this was during
pinging, which was done by disabling, setting, and enabling the counter.
Now pinging is done without disabling the watchdog. We use 2 counters:
Counter 1 is the watchdog counter - on expiry, the system is reset.
Counter 0 is used to reset Counter 1 to start counting from the set
timeout again. So Counter 1 is set to be reset on Counter 0 expiry event
event and pinging is done by forcing an immediate expiry event on
Counter 0.
