If the timeout value is set more than once the DA9063 watchdog triggers
a reset signal which reset the system.

To update the timeout value we have to disable the watchdog, clear the
watchdog counter value and write the new timeout value to the watchdog.
Clearing the counter value is a feature to be on the safe side because the
data sheet doesn't describe the behaviour of the watchdog counter value
after a watchdog disabling-enable-sequence.

The patch is based on Philipp Zabel's previous patch.

This is problematic. The watchdog may be stopped when this is called. If setting
the timeout starts it, we'll need more complex code only doing this if the
watchdog is running.

It might be simpler to just call da9063_wdt_stop() for the above.

Is this necessary even though the watchdog is stopped at this point ?
