I'd think the latter two includes could go. Maybe even more?

I'd think it would be better to drop 'heartbeat' usage in this function here,
but simply use 'new_heartbeat' and...

... use wdt_dev->timeout here (which would need to get initialized in probe
using the global 'heartbeat')

You don't need the pointer check here. devm_request_and_ioremap will do that, too.
