control.

Do so using the WDOG_HW_RUNNING flag that exists for exactly
that use-case.

Thanks for addressing the comments and now the patch looks good to me. One more suggestion, can we make the initcall level of the driver to subsys_initcall_sync so that the driver gets registered immediately after the watchdog_core is registered and watchdog_core starts pinging the WDT?
