Subject: [PATCH 5.4 81/96] drivers: watchdog: stm32_iwdg: set WDOG_HW_RUNNING at probe

From: Christophe Roullier <christophe.roullier@...com>

commit 85fdc63fe256b595f923a69848cd99972ff446d8 upstream.

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")
