That makes me wonder if we should add something like
	watchdog_stop_on_suspend()
to the watchdog core. Almost every watchdog driver supporting
suspend/resume repeats the same sequence (except for the debug
message). That is a separate question, though.

Doesn't the suspend / resume code already display such debug messages ?

That disables / enables the watchdog as part of regular suspend/resume
handling, meaning any hang during suspend/resume that happens later will
hang the system. Sure you don't want to use SET_LATE_SYSTEM_SLEEP_PM_OPS()
instead ?

Never mind, though. Your call, obviously.
