 watchdog core:

+	Watchdog core auto-updates boot-enabled watchdogs before userspace
+	takes over. Default is set by the kconfig option

     open_timeout:
 	Maximum time, in seconds, for which the watchdog framework will take
 	care of pinging a running hardware watchdog until userspace opens the
 	corresponding /dev/watchdogN device. A value of 0 means an infinite
 	timeout. Setting this to a non-zero value can be useful to ensure that
 	either userspace comes up properly, or the board gets reset and allows
