The MAX77714 is a MFD chip whose watchdog has the same programming

masks are different, as well as some features.

Support the MAX77714 watchdog by adding a variant description table holding
the differences.

All the features implemented by this driver are available on the MAX77714
except for the lack of a WDTOFFC bit. Instead of using a "HAS_*" flag we
handle this by holding in the cnfg_glbl2_cfg_bits struct field the bits
(i.e. the features) to enable in the CNFG_GLBL2 register. These bits differ
among the two models. This implementation allows to avoid any conditional
code, keeping the execution flow unchanged.
