Are you sure? After the related kconfig changes you'll have CONFIG_WDT enabled, and with that the watchdog is started and you need to periodically refresh it. At the moment the watchdog is not enabled at boot and it is used only for the reset. While the change might be fine, my concern is that this might affect some use cases. Debugging? Kernel not having the watchdog driver enabled? Any other fancy use-case? Assuming I am not getting this all wrong, and enabling CONFIG_WDT has no real effects, please correct me if I'm wrong.
