README: Clarify difference of CONFIG_WATCHDOG and CONFIG_HW_WATCHDOG
Now that we have the documentation, the code should be changed to reflect it ;) Asd far as I can see, these are the places where HW_WATCHDOG is used instead of WATCHDOG: arch/blackfin/cpu/blackfin/watchdog.c arch/m68k/cpu/mcf547x_8x/cpu.c The relevant maintainers are on CC.
