maxims@google.com 0753bc2d30 dm: Simple Watchdog uclass
This is a simple uclass for Watchdog Timers. It has four operations:
start, restart, reset, stop. Drivers must implement start, restart and
stop operations, while implementing reset is optional: It's default
implementation expires watchdog timer in one clock tick.

* the watchdog, the timer will elapse and generate a timeout signal.
* The timeout signal is used to initiate corrective action or actions,
