watchdog: sama5d4: Add comment explaining what happens on resume
Because suspending to RAM may lose the register values, they are restored on resume. This is currently done unconditionally because there is currently no way to know (from the driver) whether they have really been lost or are still valid. Writing MR also pings the watchdog and this may not be what is expected so add a comment explaining why it happens.
