Please reword to something like:

Implement a method to change watchdog timeout configuration based on the
"dlg,wdt-sd" devicetree property. Setting the WATCHDOG_SD bit enables
SHUTDOWN mode, and clearing it enables POWERDOWN mode on watchdog timeout.

If no devicetree property is specified, the WATCHDOG_SD bit stays in default
configuration, not breaking behaviour of devices which might depend on
default fuse configuration.

Specifically, "There is a possibility ..." should not be part of the
description at all, and "Note:" should not be part of the description
and be moved below "---".

This is not really what he code below does.
It sets the mode to shutdown if val is != 0, not if it is 1.

CHECK: Alignment should match open parenthesis
#157: FILE: drivers/watchdog/da9062_wdt.c:266:
+ ret = regmap_update_bits(wdt->hw->regmap,
+ DA9062AA_CONFIG_I,

Also, this does not require an additional variable.

ret = regmap_update_bits(wdt->hw->regmap,
DA9062AA_CONFIG_I,
DA9062AA_WATCHDOG_SD_MASK,
val ? DA9062AA_WATCHDOG_SD_MASK : 0);

return dev_err_probe(dev, ret,
"failed to set wdt reset mode\n");

Thanks,
