enable is a bool, but is supposed to provide the value to be put into the
register, masked with enable_mask. Unless I am missing something, the value
is not shifted in regmap_update_bits. So I don't think this can work, but
effectively always writes zero into the mask unless the mask happens to be
at bit position 0 - which never happens.

Same is true for warm_reset above, which also has values 0 or 1.

I know it does not really matter in C (at least when it comes to handling
0 and 1), but I would suggest to avoid mixing booleans with bit masks.

You're right of course, great spot.

How about?

   !enable << ffs(st_wdog->syscfg->enable_mask).

Seems to add a lot of complexity (as in 'makes it difficult to understand')
to avoid a conditional, and assumes that enable_mask will never have more
than one bit set. I would go with
	enable ? st_wdog->syscfg->enable_mask : 0
to avoid confusion, but your call.
