Sorry, watchdog can't be stopped by disabling clock. The only way to stop watchdog
is SOC enter Deep Sleep Mode(suspend) and stopped by HW, so the suspend flow
looks like 'watchdog stop' which I though WDOG_HW_RUNNING makes sense.
Okay, I will use internal flag instead of WDOG_HW_RUNNING in v2, thanks.
