Carlo Szelinsky d048137e85 realtek: add Hasivo MCU watchdog driver
Add a watchdog driver for the external management MCU on Hasivo /
Horaco network switches, reachable over I2C. Without periodic
keepalive the MCU resets the board every ~3 minutes.

The driver arms the MCU at probe and registers a struct
watchdog_device with WDOG_HW_RUNNING so the watchdog core feeds the
chip via a kernel timer until userspace opens the watchdog node.
Timeout is fixed at 15s; the hardware threshold is baked into MCU
firmware and is not software-configurable.

The I2C address is supplied per-board in the device tree via the
`reg` property. The driver does not constrain or probe a specific
address. Known addresses across current Hasivo / Horaco silicon:

  - 0x6F: Hasivo S1300WP-8XGT-4S+, Hasivo F5800W-12S+,
          Horaco ZX-SW82TS-L2P (default / most common)
  - 0x6E: alternate Hasivo / Horaco variant

The driver, its device-tree binding and the Kconfig/Makefile wiring
are added to the kernel tree as a realtek target patch and exposed as
the kmod-hasivo-mcu-wdt KernelPackage. Keeping the binding in the
kernel tree lets dt_binding_check exercise it during the build and
makes the whole driver easy to drop once it lands upstream.

Tested on Hasivo S1300WP-8XGT-4S+ (RTL9313). Unbinding the driver
causes the MCU to power-cycle the board within ~15s.
