we don't need pre-timeout here.
Hope I understand you correctly:-) sorry for your confusion
So when pre-timeout occurs, the interrupt handler calls panic() or whatever it's supposed to do.

I understand all that. What I'm saying is that, in the future, when pre-timeout support is added to the watchdog layer, I think it makes sense to modify this driver to use pre-timeout support.
