Subject: [PATCH v2 1/5] watchdog: Add API to trigger reboots

Some hardware implements reboot through its watchdog hardware,
for example by triggering a watchdog timeout. Platform specific
code starts to spread into watchdog drivers, typically by setting
pointers to a callback functions which is then called from the
platform reset handler.

To simplify code and provide a unified API to trigger reboots by
watchdog drivers, provide a single API to trigger such reboots
through the watchdog subsystem.
