You're right, I forgot to set it since pinging the watchdog within
barebox is a dev-feature :/ Fixed it with the new version.

You're right, I adapted the code. Since the ping() is optional and the
set_timeout() isn't I went the way of supplying only the set_timeout().

However, I convered it to ping() and always return -ENOSYS in case of
set_timeout().

Right! I added the WDOG_HW_RUNNING, since the watchdog is always
running.

Thanks for the review!
