Seb and I were discussing that on IRC one evening.  I think I convinced 
him that it would be nice if the watchdog slept quietly without being 
petted, until you "arm" it by setting timeout-ns to some non-zero value.

Sometimes you just want to be able to test stuff - manually set a DAC 
output to some voltage, then check with a voltmeter, or manually turn a 
general purpose output on and off.  Arming the watchdog as soon as the 
driver loads makes that impossible.

I don't know if that the driver has been changed to let the dog sleep, 
and if so, whether that change is in the released 2.2.8, or only on CVS 
trunk.
