Subject: [PATCH 2/5] watchdog: dw_wdt: reject additional device probes

Certain Altera FPGAs have an ARM-based Hard Processor System (HPS) that
includes two DesignWare Watchdog Timer peripherals.  Problems occur if
both are enabled in the device tree as the "dw_wdt" driver only supports
a single device, using a static variable (`dw_wdt`) to hold its state.
Typically, the timer queue gets corrupted, leading to a kernel Oops.

Use bit 1 of `dw_wdt.state` to indicate that a device has already been
probed, and reject attempts to probe extra devices.
