Thanks :-).. Will modify.

I am not sure.. Will be happy to change it to

I had thought of this, but then will have to change prototype of
watchdog_dev_register() to accept struct class *wdc and which in turn will cause
to change all users of watchdog_dev_register().
Other option could be to add struct class *wdc in struct watchdog_device, but it
did not look nice to me.

It has been copied from case WDIOC_GETTIMEOUT: which says:
timeout == 0 means that we don't know the timeout.

Yes, with is_visible __ATTRIBUTE_GROUPS can still be used.
