With all my appreciation for your comment, why do you think it is better
to get rid of the new argument? I don't think it is user-friendly to
always report the watchdog_info to the user. Just look at outputs [1-2]
and imagine that the watchdog_info part would pop up unconditionally.
It looks too busy to me.

[1] watchdog-test -b -i
Last boot is caused by: Power-On-Reset.
watchdog_info:
 identity:              Renesas WDT Watchdog
 firmware_version:      0
 options:               000081a0

[2] watchdog-test -i --help    
watchdog_info:
 identity:              Renesas WDT Watchdog
 firmware_version:      0
 options:               000081a0
Usage: ./watchdog-test [options]
 -f, --file             Open watchdog device file
                        Default is /dev/watchdog
 -i, --info             Show watchdog_info
 -b, --bootstatus       Get last boot status (Watchdog/POR)
 -d, --disable          Turn off the watchdog timer
 -e, --enable           Turn on the watchdog timer
 -h, --help             Print the help message
 -p, --pingrate=P       Set ping rate to P seconds (default 1)
 -t, --timeout=T        Set timeout to T seconds
 -T, --gettimeout       Get the timeout
 -n, --pretimeout=T     Set the pretimeout to T seconds
 -N, --getpretimeout    Get the pretimeout
 -L, --gettimeleft      Get the time left until timer expires

Parameters are parsed left-to-right in real-time.
Example: ./watchdog-test -d -t 10 -p 5 -e
Example: ./watchdog-test -t 12 -T -n 7 -N
