Subject: watchdog: davinci_wdt: add possibility to configure watchdog period 

Hi all, 
in davinci_wdt it is not possible to configure watchdog period. It is also
impossible to stop the watchdog so it is usefull to configure the watchdog 
before start it the first time. This patch add a module parameter to configure
the starting period before stat the watchdog (default behaviour is not changed).

I think it is a good idea to integrate this patch in mainline.

Many thanks for any comment/review and 
regards
Michele Dionisio
