Subject: [PATCH 3/4] watchdog device drivers:pc87413_wdt: Tidying up conversion of pc87413_wdt driver to common watchdog interface, removal of some stray nowayout parameters

There is a potential for the variable swc_base_addr in the call chain of the
driver initialization function (init) to be used before initialization. This
brought up the need for, by rewriting the driver to use the common watchdog
interface, ensuring to have all resources in place. This patch addresses this
need by rewriting into common watchdog interface utilization for the driver.
