[Severity: Low]
Should vt8500-wdt.nowayout also be documented in
Documentation/admin-guide/kernel-parameters.txt?
Because CONFIG_VT8500_WATCHDOG is a bool Kconfig symbol and the driver is
registered via builtin_driver(), this module_param() (with sysfs
permission 0) can only be passed on the kernel boot command line.
