watchdog: mediatek: Add wdt/toprgu resets for MT6589

This commit populates the toprgu_sw_rst_num field for the MT6589 watchdog data.
It maps the 12 reset bits available in the WDT_SWSYSRST register to allow
toprgu resets via the device tree.

[Severity: High]
This is a pre-existing issue, but registering the reset controller in
mtk_wdt_probe() happens before the structural configuration is fully
initialized:

drivers/watchdog/mtk_wdt.c:mtk_wdt_probe() {
    ...
	wdt_data = of_device_get_match_data(dev);
	if (wdt_data) {
		err = toprgu_register_reset_controller(pdev,
						       wdt_data->toprgu_sw_rst_num);
		if (err)
			return err;

		mtk_wdt->has_swsysrst_en = wdt_data->has_swsysrst_en;
	}
    ...
}

If a consumer driver probes concurrently and asserts the reset line, could it
execute before the has_swsysrst_en flag is set?

On SoCs requiring software reset enable, reading the uninitialized
has_swsysrst_en as false would cause the reset assertion to fail silently,
potentially leaving consumer devices in an undefined state.

Should mtk_wdt->has_swsysrst_en be initialized before calling
toprgu_register_reset_controller()?
