Add "aspeed,restart-sw" property to distinguish normal WDT
reset from system restart triggered by SW consciously.

+      Normally, ASPEED WDT reset may occur when system hangs or reboot
+      triggered by SW consciously. However, system doesn't know whether the
+      restart is triggered by SW consciously since the reset event flag is
+      the same as normal WDT timeout reset. With this property, SW can
+      restart the system immediately and directly without wait for WDT
+      timeout occurs. The reset event flag is also different from the normal
+      WDT reset. This property is only supported since AST2600 platform.
