Subject: [PATCH 5.10 04/20] rtc: pcf2127: only use watchdog when explicitly available

From: Uwe Kleine-König <u.kleine-koenig@...gutronix.de>

commit 71ac13457d9d1007effde65b54818106b2c2b525 upstream.

Most boards using the pcf2127 chip (in my bubble) don't make use of the
watchdog functionality and the respective output is not connected. The
effect on such a board is that there is a watchdog device provided that
doesn't work.

So only register the watchdog if the device tree has a "reset-source"
property.
