Every platform driver can be forced to match a device that doesn't match
its list of device IDs because of device_match_driver_override(), so
platform drivers that rely on the existence of a device's ACPI companion
object need to verify its presence.

Accordingly, add a requisite ACPI_COMPANION() check against NULL to the
ni903x_wdt watchdog driver.

This smells like we can move to regular acpi_dev_*() resource APIs rather than
custom walking via _CRS. But I haven't looked into the code.
