If the watchdog hardware is already enabled during the boot process,
when the Linux watchdog driver loads, it should reset the watchdog and
tell the watchdog framework. As a result, ping can be generated from
the watchdog framework, until the userspace watchdog daemon takes over
control

Note ENABLE_MASK contains two bits (INT_ENABLE and RESET_ENABLE); therefore, a simple !!(expression) would not work? That is, the masked result needs to be compared against the mask again to ensure both bits are set, right?

Thanks,
