Since watchdog_ping_work is not freezable so that it maybe scheduled before imx2_wdt_resume where watchdog clock enabled, hence, kernel will hang in imx2_wdt_ping without clock, and then watchdog reset happen. Prevent the above case by clearing WDOG_HW_RUNNING before suspend, and restore it with ping in imx2_wdt_resume.
