Subject: [PATCH v2 0/2] watchdog: report all watchdog_ident information via sysfs

This synchronizes the information reported by ioctl and sysfs.
The mismatch is confusing because "wdctl" from util-linux uses the ioctl
when used with root privileges and sysfs without.

Userspace implementation: https://github.com/util-linux/util-linux/pull/1927
