The DA9063 watchdog has only one register field to store the timeout value and to enable the watchdog. The watchdog gets enabled if the value is not zero. There is no issue if the watchdog is already running but it leads into problems if the watchdog is disabled. If the watchdog is diabled and only the timeout value should be prepared the watchdog gets enabled too. Add a check to get the current watchdog state and update the watchdog timeout value on hw-side only if the watchdog is already running.
