Subject: rtc: ds1374: wdt: Fix stop/start ioctl always returning -EINVAL

From: Moritz Fischer <[email protected]>

[ Upstream commit 538c08f4c89580fc644e2bc64e0a4b86c925da4e ]

The WDIOC_SETOPTIONS case in the watchdog ioctl would alwayss falls through to the -EINVAL case. This is wrong since thew watchdog does actually get stopped or started correctly.

Fixes 920f91e50c5b ("drivers/rtc/rtc-ds1374.c: add watchdog support")
