Subject: [PATCH 1/4] watchdog: imgpdc: Fix NULL pointer dereference on probe

From: Naidu Tellapati <naidu.tellapati@...tec.com>

pdc_wdt_probe() called pdc_wdt_stop() before watchdog_set_drvdata(),
resulting in the following NULL pointer dereference:

  CPU 0 Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address 0000008c, epc == 8082a2b8, ra == 8082a914

Fix it by moving the call to pdc_wdt_stop() after we've set drvdata.
