is_enable and current_timeout are only written to and never read, and thus pointless.

write_hw_ram() is too generic for a device specific function. Please add a
prefix.

Reset ?

Either case, please drop those error messages. If they happen they would likely
be persistent and end up clogging the kernel log.

Unecessary check. The watchdog core performs limit checks.
Repeating them does not add value.

Given that, this helper function is quite pointless (and misleading, since
it doesn't set anything).

Please use the watchdog subsystem instead of declaring yor own notifier.

'timeout' is used just once. Just use wdd->timeout directly below.

The watchdog core ensures that there will be no more than one caller.
What is this lock supposed to protect ?

timeout_in_ms is the timeout in 10th of seconds. "_ms" is misleading.

Unnecessary type cast.

This driver is extremely noisy when it comes to error messages.

Errors from this call are ignored. If that is on purpose, the assignment
to 'ret' is unnecessary.

This should be handled with a goto to the end of the function.
See error handling in coding style.

The conversion from timeout -> timeout_in_ms -> timeout
seems to be quite pointless.

Please no C++ comments in the code.

Use watchdog_stop_on_reboot().

And right afterwards "watchdog register success", and the error
is ignored.
