So we completely remove the sama5d4_wdt_init() call then correct?

To leave the code as it behaves today with the addition
of wdt stop/start, shouldn't we call init in the else instead?

	if (watchdog_active(&wdt->wdd))
		sama5d4_wdt_start(&wdt->wdd);
	else
		sama5d4_wdt_init();

I guess I don't really understand the purpose of having the init statement in resume
in the first place. I agree, calling this first does end up essentially resetting the wdt
it will start again if it was running before, but the count will be reset.
