Yes, it is needed. We need this feature to enable the watchdog
as soon as possible and this is essential for unmanned applications,
such as routers, water pumping stations, climate data collections,
etc.  

Right, ok for the correct positioning of the wdat_wdt_start function
at the end of the watchdog device initialization. Thanks!
