The below patch fixes some typos in drivers/staging/mei/* that I have found while
doing a little bit of reading.

Adding kernel watchdog interface (/dev/watchdog) to the MEI Driver to support AMT Watchdog feature.
This patch and the following one will replace MEI Driver self management of the AMT watchdog
with the standard kernel watchdog interface.

AMTHI need to be initialized after WD Client was initialized, moving the AMTHI outside
of the WD initialization function.
in order to remove the coupling between the initialization of those clients.
AMTHI is getting initialized (getting connected to the FW feature/client) in two ways:
1) if mei driver fails to send connect message to watchdog client (WD initialization), then
immediately the AMTHI client getting initialized right after the watchdog initialization function.
2) if Watchdog client success to send connect message to watchdog client, then only after
the driver is getting the connect response message the AMTHI client is getting initialized

Implementation of the communication between host and ME.
connect/disconnect to/from a client, send MEI message,
read MEI message, flow control handling.
Each MEI message has mei_msg_hdr followed by a payload.
Driver is oblivious the payload.
ME Address/ID - This is the logical address of the ME
feature/client of that message.
Host Address/ID - This is the logical address of the Host
client of that message
Length - This is the Length of message payload in bytes
Reserved - reserved for future use.
Message Complete - This bit is used to indicative that
this is the last message of multi message
MEI transfer of a client message that is larger
then the MEI circular buffer.
Payload - Message payload (data) up to 512bytes
The HW data registers are consist two circular buffers,
one for data from ME and other data from Host application.
Each buffer has two pointers, read_ptr (H_CBRP)
and write_ptr (H_CBWP).
The buffers size is defined by depth value that exists
in the status registers (H_CBD and ME_CBD_HRA).
Every read from ME circular buffer cause read_ptr++
Every write to the Host circular buffer write_ptr++
Flow control MEI message that ME and MEI Driver use to notify
each other that a ME feature/client or Host client buffer is ready
to receive data.
