Return the remaining time from the hardware control register.

Warn when the device is registered if the hardware watchdog is currently
running and report the remaining time left.

This is really two logical changes, isn't it ?

Nice trick to figure out if the watchdog is running.

What is the impact ? Will this result in interrupts ?
If so, would it make sense to _not_ reset the system after a timeout
in this case, but to keep pinging the watchdog while the watchdog device
is not open ?

Thanks,
Guenter

Changed "if (timeleft > 0)" to "if (hw->running)" when checking if a
warning should be printed, in case the time left is truncated down to
0 seconds.
