LPC11xx: proper WDT update

The user manual recommends:

"Interrupts should be disabled during the feed sequence. An abort condition will occur if an
interrupt happens during the feed sequence." (see page 278).

However, the current sample code (wdt.c in driver folder) does not follow this suggestion.

So, what is right  (and what is an "abort condition")?

You may be right. The sample code itself doesn´t make any use of WDTFeed(), so there´s no telling how it is meant to be used. But it would be certainly nice to have some comment in the code or header if disabling all interrupts is a required precondition.
As the additional ISR-jitter is very small and doesn´t matter in my application, I will add the disabling/enabling function to "my" WDTFeed-function.

I guess the samples assume that interrupts are already disabled.
