Default value is set when compiling the kernel. If it is set
to "Y", then there is no way of disabling the watchdog once
it has been started.
+ kdumptimeout Minimum timeout in seconds to apply upon receipt of an NMI
+ before calling panic. (-1) disables the watchdog. When value
+ is > 0, the timer is reprogrammed with the greater of
+ value or current timeout value.

+watchdog core:
+ open_timeout:
+ Maximum time, in seconds, for which the watchdog framework will take
+ care of pinging a running hardware watchdog until userspace opens the
+ corresponding /dev/watchdogN device. A value of 0 means an infinite
+ timeout. Setting this to a non-zero value can be useful to ensure that
+ either userspace comes up properly, or the board gets reset and allows
+ fallback logic in the bootloader to try something else.
