This patch series introduces watchdog timer support for the Nuvoton MA35D1
SoC platform.

The MA35D1 watchdog timer hardware provides a programmable countdown timer
capable of triggering a system reset upon timeout expiration or generating
an interrupt to wake up the system from low-power states.

Key features supported in this driver:
 - Standard watchdog operations (start, stop, ping, set_timeout).
 - Boot status detection to identify watchdog reset events (WDIOF_CARDRESET).
 - Power management support including suspend/resume and wakeup functionality.

Series breakdown:
 - Patch 1: Add DT binding documentation for Nuvoton MA35D1 watchdog.
 - Patch 2: Add the watchdog driver implementation for MA35D1.
 - Patch 3: Add the watchdog node in the MA35D1 SoC DeviceTree file.

Testing:
 - Tested on the Nuvoton MA35D1 development board using standard watchdog
   test utilities (e.g., watchdog-test from tools/testing/selftests/watchdog).

Changes in v2:
 - Added `watchdog_stop_on_reboot()` and `watchdog_stop_on_unregister()`.
Addressed automated review feedback (Sashiko AI) and reviewer comments:
 - Remove redundant 'struct device *dev' from driver private structure.
 - Add ma35d1_wdt_wait_sync() after writing WDTEN to REG_WDT_CTL in
   ma35d1_wdt_start().
 - Preserve wdt_dev->timeout when requested timeout exceeds hardware maximum.
 - Replace dev_pm_set_wake_irq with devm_pm_set_wake_irq.
 - Set WDOG_HW_RUNNING if watchdog was already enabled by bootloader.
 - Fix IRQ variable type from u32 to int.
 - Removed unnecessary `select MFD_SYSCON` from Kconfig.

 Note: RMW operations on REG_WDT_CTL have no runtime side-effects on W1C
       flags as IF/WKF are only utilized during PM suspend/resume window.
