ipq40xx: mikrotik: kernel: pet watchdog during kernel uncompress
kernel 6.9 removed the KConfig entry our RouterBOOT watchdog pet hack was relying on:
Linux df59427a1122 ("ARM: qcom: merge remaining subplatforms into sensible Kconfig entry")
Introduce a new specific KConfig entry for this hack,
and enable it for Mikrotik ipq40xx kernel.
CONFIG_ARCH_QCOM_IPQ40XX_BOOT_COMPRESSED_PET_WATCHDOG_EARLY
With appropriate DEBUG_LL and DEBUG_UNCOMPRESS, this watchdog reset
can be typically seen on console as a reset before "Uncompressing Linux..."
reaches " done, booting the kernel."
RouterBOOT
loading kernel... OK
setting up elf image... OK

versus:
Uncompressing Linux... done, booting the kernel.
[ 0.000000] Booting Linux on physical CPU 0x0
On Mikrotik RouterBOOT devices, this is complicated by some RouterBOOT
versions successfully loading the same kernel that other RouterBOOT versions fail. Example:
RouterBOOT backup booter 6.45.9 fine, RouterBOOT booter 7.16 fail
