watchdog: WatchDog Timer Driver Core - Add ioctl call
Add support for extra ioctl calls by adding a
ioctl watchdog operation. This operation will be
called before we do our own handling of ioctl
commands. This way we can override the internal
ioctl command handling and we can also add
extra ioctl commands. The ioctl watchdog operation
should return the appropriate error codes or
-ENOIOCTLCMD if the ioctl command should be handled
through the internal ioctl handling of the framework.
