No. It is optional to start with, and the driver already has

static struct watchdog_device sirfsoc_wdd = {
         .info = &sirfsoc_wdt_ident,
         .ops = &sirfsoc_wdt_ops,
         .timeout = SIRFSOC_WDT_DEFAULT_TIMEOUT,			<------
         .min_timeout = SIRFSOC_WDT_MIN_TIMEOUT,
         .max_timeout = SIRFSOC_WDT_MAX_TIMEOUT,
};
