Probably my fault. I quickly scanned for locking usage in other watchdog
drivers and found plenty of those RMW-protecting locks. I didn't check
then what the actual locking model of the watchdog core is, and possibly
some of the other use cases need to protect register against other users
or multiple watchdog instances. But if the core locks
start/stop/set_timeout internally against each other, this is obviously
pointless without out inherently single-instance use case here.
