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

From: Michele Dionisio <michele.dionisio@...ersoft.com>

It is not possible to implement setting of watchdog period because it is
not possible to stop watchdog so it is nice to have possibility to
configure watchdog period at module loading.
