From: Surendra Singh Chouhan <[email protected]> atcwdt_get_int_timer_type() returned TMR_UNKNOWN (enum value 3) when CTRL_WDT_EN was set in the control register. Because atcwdt_probe() checks "ret = atcwdt_get_int_timer_type(drv_data); if (ret) return ret;", returning TMR_UNKNOWN caused probe() to return 3 instead of a valid negative error code. Fix this by returning -EBUSY via dev_err_probe() when the watchdog is already enabled and update the kernel-doc description accordingly.
