Hi stable maintainers

Can I get you to consider including

bc137dfdbec2 watchdog: gpio_wdt: set WDOG_HW_RUNNING in gpio_wdt_stop

in -stable? Without that, any (always-running) gpio watchdog effectively
fails to honour the magic close feature, causing an unexpected reset
shortly after userspace gracefully closes the device.

Anything containing 3c10bbde10 ("watchdog: core: Clear WDOG_HW_RUNNING
before calling the stop function") probably needs it (i.e. 4.8+), but at
the very least 4.14 and 4.15.

Rasmus
