The status bits should (preferably) be set with the set_bit and clear_bit alike
bit-operations. The status bits that are defined are:
+* WDOG_ACTIVE: this status bit indicates whether or not a watchdog timer device
+ is active or not. When the watchdog is active after booting, then you should
+ set this status bit (Note: when you register the watchdog timer device with
+ this bit set, then opening /dev/watchdog will skip the start operation)
* WDOG_DEV_OPEN: this status bit shows whether or not the watchdog device
was opened via /dev/watchdog.
(This bit should only be used by the WatchDog Timer Driver Core).
