10  * Implement a simple watchdog uclass. Watchdog is basically a timer that
11  * is used to detect or recover from malfunction. During normal operation
12  * the watchdog would be regularly reset to prevent it from timing out.
13  * If, due to a hardware fault or program error, the computer fails to reset
14  * the watchdog, the timer will elapse and generate a timeout signal.
15  * The timeout signal is used to initiate corrective action or actions,
16  * which typically include placing the system in a safe, known state.
