[RESEND PATCH] watchdog: sbsa_gwdt: add force_enable module parameter

The sbsa_gwdt driver only manages and registers the watchdog timer if it
was already enabled by a previous boot stage (such as firmware). If the
watchdog was left disabled prior to entering the kernel, the driver
will not actively enable it during the probe phase.

Introduce a new module parameter 'force_enable' to allow overriding this
behavior. When 'force_enable' is set, the driver will forcibly start
the watchdog and register it as running during the probe phase, even if
it was disabled in the previous boot stage.
