Add option to use with watchdog timers which are always enabled
in hardware, i.e. there is no way to enable/disable it via GPIO pin.
The driver will start pinging WDT immediately upon loading
and will continue to do so even after stopping the watchdog.

The headline needs a reference to the affected driver.

Also, please copy the dt mailing list and maintainers.

No need to add another if and indentation level. Just make it

This will cause a problem if register_reboot_notifier failed. You'll have
to implement proper error handling for this case, something like the following.

	...
	priv->notifier.notifier_call = gpio_wdt_notify_sys;
	ret = register_reboot_notifier(&priv->notifier);
	if (ret)
		goto unregister;

	if (priv->always_enabled)
		gpio_wdt_enable(priv);

	return 0;

unregister:
	watchdog_unregister_device(&priv->wdd);
	return ret;
}
