Ahmad Fatoum	d51d3852d1	docs: watchdog: codify ident.options as superset of possible status flags The FIXME comment has been in-tree since the very first git commit. The described behavior has been since relied on by some userspace, e.g. the util-linux wdctl command and has been ignored by some kernelspace, like the f71808e_wdt driver. The functionality is useful to have to be able to differentiate between a driver that doesn't support WDIOF_CARDRESET and one that does, but hasn't had a watchdog reset, thus drop the FIXME to encourage drivers adopting this convention.

docs: watchdog: codify ident.options as superset of possible status flags

The FIXME comment has been in-tree since the very first git commit.
The described behavior has been since relied on by some userspace, e.g.
the util-linux wdctl command and has been ignored by some kernelspace,
like the f71808e_wdt driver.

The functionality is useful to have to be able to differentiate between a
driver that doesn't support WDIOF_CARDRESET and one that does, but hasn't
had a watchdog reset, thus drop the FIXME to encourage drivers adopting
this convention.

docs: watchdog: convert docs to ReST and rename to *.rst

Convert those documents and prepare them to be part of the kernel
API book, as most of the stuff there are related to the
Kernel interfaces.

Still, in the future, it would make sense to split the docs,
as some of the stuff is clearly focused on sysadmin tasks.

The conversion is actually:
  - add blank lines and identation in order to identify paragraphs;
  - fix tables markups;
  - add some lists markups;
  - mark literal blocks;
  - adjust title markups.

At its new index.rst, let's add a :orphan: while this is not linked to
the main index.rst file, in order to avoid build warnings.
