This rewrites the IXP4xx watchdog driver as follows:

- Spawn the watchdog driver as a platform device from the timer
  driver. It's one device in the hardware, and the fact that
  Linux splits the handling into two different devices is
  a Linux pecularity, and thus it becomes a Linux pecularity
  to spawn a separate watchdog driver.

- Spawn the watchdog driver from the timer driver at probe().
  This is well after the timer driver as actually registered and
  started and we know the register base is available.

- Instead of looping back callbacks to the timer drivers for all
  watchdog calls, pass the register base to the watchdog driver
  and manage the registers there. The two drivers aren't even
  interested in the same register so the spinlock is totally
  surplus, delete it.

- Replace pretty much all of the content in the watchdog driver
  with a simple, modern watchdog driver utilizing the watchdog
  core instead of registering its own misc device and ioctl()
  handling.

- Drop module parameters as the same already exist in the
  watchdog core.

What remains is a slim elegant (IMO) watchdog driver using the
watchdog core, spawning from device tree or boardfile alike.
