The LPC32xx provide the capability to perform a soft or hard reset;
a soft reset will no reset the external peripheral
(i.e. RESOUT_N output not asserted).

This changeset migrate the restart code from the "mach-lpc32xx" to
the "pnx-4008" watchdog driver and add the soft reset capability.

The default behavior (i.e. hard reset) remain unchanged.

The core restart handler support added by this change:
2165bf524da5f5e496d - "watchdog: core: add restart handler support"
is not use in this changeset; it does not support the reboot mode.

I finally had the time to look into this. Sorry for the late reply.

Changing the watchdog core to pass the restart mode (or action)
and the cmd/data pointer to the driver would be trivial and should
be done instead.

I wrote a patch to do just that. I'll send it out later today for review,
assuming it passes my internal tests.
