"can" or "leaves" ?
Anyway, if that is the case, please follow the guidance from intel-mid_wdt.c,
and explain it accordingly. Alternatively, please explain why something like
ret = wdt_start(wdt_dev);
if (ret)
return ret;
/* Make sure the watchdog is serviced */
set_bit(WDOG_HW_RUNNING, &wdt_dev->status);
would not work in your case, and why all that added complexity
is needed.
