Ah, I knew I missed something. The following would be a better fix,
though, since it enforces that at least one pretimeout governor is enabled
(matching the old code):

diff --git a/drivers/watchdog/Kconfig b/drivers/watchdog/Kconfig
index e19960ace0c0..4a3461afa96f 100644
--- a/drivers/watchdog/Kconfig
+++ b/drivers/watchdog/Kconfig
@@ -71,6 +71,12 @@ config WATCHDOG_PRETIMEOUT_GOV
         help
           The option allows to select watchdog pretimeout governors.

+config WATCHDOG_PRETIMEOUT_GOV_SEL
+       tristate
+       depends on WATCHDOG_PRETIMEOUT_GOV
+       default m
+       select WATCHDOG_PRETIMEOUT_GOV_PANIC if WATCHDOG_PRETIMEOUT_GOV_NOOP=n
+
  if WATCHDOG_PRETIMEOUT_GOV

Can you send v2 with the above, or do you want me to send it and give you credit ?

Thanks,
Guenter
