Pull watchdog updates from Wim Van Sebroeck:
 "Core:
   - min and max timeout improvements, WDOG_HW_RUNNING improvements,
     status funtionality
   - Add a device managed API for watchdog_register_device()

  New watchdog drivers:
   -  Aspeed SoCs
   -  Maxim PMIC MAX77620
   -  Amlogic Meson GXBB SoC

  Enhancements:
   - support for the r8a7796 watchdog device
   - support for F81866 watchdog device
   - support for 5th variation of Apollo Lake
   - support for MCP78S chipset
   - clean-up of softdog.c watchdog device driver
   - pic32-wdt and pic32-dmt fixes
   - Documentation/watchdog: watchdog-test improvements
   - several other fixes and improvements"
