If the watchdog hardware is already enabled during the boot process,
when the Linux watchdog driver loads, it should reset the watchdog and
tell the watchdog framework. As a result, ping can be generated from
the watchdog framework (if CONFIG_WATCHDOG_HANDLE_BOOT_ENABLED is set),
until the userspace watchdog daemon takes over control

This is not what the code is doing. It sets the WDOG_HW_RUNNING flag
unconditionally, no matter if the watchdog is already running or not.
It also changes the semantic of the rest of the code, as well as
functionality. The code in start_timeout no longer waits, and the ping
code explicitly (re-)enables the watchdog.

If you want an option to start the watchdog at probe time unconditionally,
please add a module parameter to do it. Otherwise you'll need to check if
it is indeed enabled before setting WDOG_HW_RUNNING, and in that case it
should not be necessary to re-enable it. It should also not be necessary
to split the start function.

Thanks,
Guenter

With our IWDG IP, there is no way to read values from hardware (if it is 
running or not)

We are in same case of intel-mid_wdt.c driver, we have Uboot which can

leaves the watchdog running. So we need to force the kicking of our 
watchdog.

Thanks

"can" or "leaves" ? 

Anyway, if that is the case, please follow the guidance from intel-mid_wdt.c,
and explain it accordingly. Alternatively, please explain why something like

	ret = wdt_start(wdt_dev);
        if (ret)
                return ret;

	/* Make sure the watchdog is serviced */
        set_bit(WDOG_HW_RUNNING, &wdt_dev->status);

would not work in your case, and why all that added complexity
is needed.

Thanks,
Guenter
