Subject: [PATCH] watchdog: ebc-c384_wdt: Mark status as orphaned

The current maintainer no longer has access to the device for testing,
the original user of this driver indicates that they have moved on to
another device, and the manufacturer WINSYSTEMS does not appear
interested in taking over support for this code.

You should also remove the M: line because, after all, there
won't be a maintainer anymore.
