[PATCH v2] watchdog: wdat_wdt: map registers that fall inside ACPI NVS

Message-ID <[email protected]>
Some firmwares describe WDAT registers inside memory ranges marked as
ACPI NVS in the E820 map, failing with -EBUSY during probe, leaving the
hardware watchdog unserviced and triggering periodic system resets.

This issue was observed on a OnLogic Karbon 524 device (when watchdog is
enabled in BIOS):

wdat_wdt wdat_wdt: error -EBUSY: can't request region for resource [mem 0x63df7a98]
wdat_wdt wdat_wdt: probe with driver wdat_wdt failed with error -16

Check whether the region falls inside ACPI NVS before requesting it and,
if so, map it without reservation.
