This patch series introduces watchdog timer support for the Nuvoton MA35D1
SoC platform.
The MA35D1 watchdog timer hardware provides a programmable countdown timer
capable of triggering a system reset upon timeout expiration or generating
an interrupt to wake up the system from low-power states.
Key features supported in this driver:
- Standard watchdog operations (start, stop, ping, set_timeout).
- Boot status detection to identify watchdog reset events (WDIOF_CARDRESET).
- Power management support including suspend/resume and wakeup functionality.
Series breakdown:
- Patch 1: Add DT binding documentation for Nuvoton MA35D1 watchdog.
- Patch 2: Add the watchdog driver implementation for MA35D1.
- Patch 3: Add the watchdog node in the MA35D1 SoC DeviceTree file.
Testing:
- Tested on the Nuvoton MA35D1 development board using standard watchdog
test utilities (e.g., watchdog-test from tools/testing/selftests/watchdog).

Changes in v2:
- Added `watchdog_stop_on_reboot()` and `watchdog_stop_on_unregister()`.
Addressed automated review feedback (Sashiko AI) and reviewer comments:
- Remove redundant 'struct device *dev' from driver private structure.
- Add ma35d1_wdt_wait_sync() after writing WDTEN to REG_WDT_CTL in
ma35d1_wdt_start().
- Preserve wdt_dev->timeout when requested timeout exceeds hardware maximum.
- Replace dev_pm_set_wake_irq with devm_pm_set_wake_irq.
- Set WDOG_HW_RUNNING if watchdog was already enabled by bootloader.
- Fix IRQ variable type from u32 to int.
- Removed unnecessary `select MFD_SYSCON` from Kconfig.
Note: RMW operations on REG_WDT_CTL have no runtime side-effects on W1C
flags as IF/WKF are only utilized during PM suspend/resume window.
