A common external watchdog circuit is kept alive by triggering a short
pulse on the reset pin. This patch adds support for this use case, while
making the algorithm configurable in the devicetree.
The "linux,wdt-gpio" driver being modified is based off the equivalent
driver in the Linux kernel, which provides support for this algorithm.
This patch brings parity to this driver, and is kept aligned with
the functionality and devicetree configuration in the kernel.
It should be noted that this adds a required property named 'hw_algo'
to the devicetree binding, following suit with the kernel. I'm happy to
make this backward-compatible if preferred.

Device Tree Bindings Staging Area
=================================
This directory contains device tree bindings for U-Boot.
These follow along with Linux kernel bindings, with a few additions. By
adding the files here, U-Boot patches can clearly show thees additions.
This makes it easier for device tree people to review these additions in
patches sent to the U-Boot mailing list.
The intent IS to commit these files to U-Boot. Hopefully at some point
the files will be stored in another repo (shared with Linux) which is
brought in as needed. Changes here are intended to mirror changes in the
Linux Documentation/devicetree/bindings/ directory.
