Subject[PATCH 2/4] watchdog: add support for resetting keepalive timers at start
Date
Current watchdog core pets the timer always after the initial keepalive
time has expired from boot-up. This is incorrect for certain timers that
don't like to be petted immediately when they are started, if they have
not been running over the boot.

To allow drivers to reset their keepalive timers during startup, add
a new watchdog flag to the api, WDOG_RESET_KEEPALIVE.
