Subject: [PATCH v3 1/1] watchdog: Add common nowayout parameter to booke_wdt
 driver

Add the common "nowayout" parameter to booke_wdt to make this behavior
selectable at runtime and to make the implementation more consistent with
many other watchdog drivers.

Reviewed-by: Guenter Roeck <linux@...ck-us.net>

Changes in:
	v2:
