Confirmed on R-Car H3-Salvator-X:

root@...r-gen3:~# ls -al /dev/watchdog*
crw-------    1 root     root       10, 130 Aug 21 09:38 /dev/watchdog
crw-------    1 root     root      247,   0 Aug 21 09:38 /dev/watchdog0

misleading printout:

$ ./watchdog-test -d -t 10 -p 5 -e -f /dev/watch
Watchdog device not enabled.

Thanks!
