The optional SMCWD_GET_TIMELEFT command can be used to detect if
the watchdog has already been started.
See the implementation in OP-TEE secure OS [1].
If CONFIG_WATCHDOG_HANDLE_BOOT_ENABLED is set, at probe time check
if the watchdog is already started and then set WDOG_HW_RUNNING in
the watchdog status. This will cause the watchdog framework to
ping the watchdog until a userspace watchdog daemon takes over the
control.

This is the wrong use of this configuration option. It is only needed
in a driver if the watchdog status can not be read from hardware.
That is not the case here. Worse, using it in a driver like this
overrides the watchdog core module parameter "handle_boot_enabled".

I don't really know about the issue Guenter mentioned, but otherwise,
from the driver's side this looks good to me.

It should just be
set_bit(WDOG_HW_RUNNING, &wdd->status);
There should be no dependency on CONFIG_WATCHDOG_HANDLE_BOOT_ENABLED.

The optional SMCWD_GET_TIMELEFT command can be used to detect if
the watchdog has already been started.
See the implementation in OP-TEE secure OS [1].
At probe time, check if the watchdog is already started and then
set WDOG_HW_RUNNING in the watchdog status. This will cause the
watchdog framework to ping the watchdog until a userspace watchdog
daemon takes over the control.
