Subject: [PATCH v2 1/1] drivers: watchdog: stm32_iwdg: set WDOG_HW_RUNNING at probe

If the watchdog hardware is already enabled during the boot process,
when the Linux watchdog driver loads, it should start/reset the watchdog
and tell the watchdog framework. As a result, ping can be generated from
the watchdog framework (if CONFIG_WATCHDOG_HANDLE_BOOT_ENABLED is set),
until the userspace watchdog daemon takes over control

Fixes:4332d113c66a ("watchdog: Add STM32 IWDG driver")

Changes since v1:
According to Guenter
I follow the guidance from intel-mid_wdt.c
and I added test to check if CONFIG_WATCHDOG_HANDLE_BOOT_ENABLED is set
because we need to be flexible (depends on customer config, but watchdog
not always start by bootloader (Uboot, ..))
I've tested some config and it is working as expected:
Watchdog enable in Uboot + HANDLE_BOOT_ENABLE is not set + daemon watchdog in userland ON ==> No reset IWDG2
Watchdog enable in Uboot + HANDLE_BOOT_ENABLE is not set ==> Reset IWDG2
Watchdog enable in Uboot + HANDLE_BOOT_ENABLE=y ==> No reset IWDG2
Watchdog enable in Uboot + HANDLE_BOOT_ENABLE=y + daemon watchdog in userland ON puis OFF ==> Reset IWDG2
Watchdog disable in Uboot + HANDLE_BOOT_ENABLE is not set ==> No reset IWDG2
Watchdog disable in Uboot + HANDLE_BOOT_ENABLE=y ==> No reset IWDG2
Watchdog disable in Uboot + HANDLE_BOOT_ENABLE=y + daemon watchdog in userland ON ==> No reset IWDG2
Watchdog disable in Uboot + HANDLE_BOOT_ENABLE=y + daemon watchdog in userland ON puis OFF ==> Reset IWDG2

Thanks,
Christophe
