Before user space daemon start to access the watchdog device,
there is a time interval that watchdog is disabled in the
original flow. If the system freezing at this interval, it
cannot be rebooted by watchdog hardware automatically.

In order to solve this problem, the watchdog hardware should be
kept working, and start hrtimer in framework to ping it by
setting max_hw_heartbeat_ms and HW_RUNNING used in
watchdog_need_worker to determine whether the worker should be
started or not

No longer needed if max_hw_heartbeat_ms is set.

This needs explanation. Why WDT_MAX_TIMEOUT - 1 ?

Setting the chip (with the maximum timeout) ...

just before initializing/setting the real timeout doesn't really make sense.

Also: $subject should refer to mtk_wdt.

watchdog: mtk_wdt: Do not stop watchdog in probe function

or similar.

You are claiming that the watchdog core is buggy. Make your case there, not here.
