Effectively yes. That is what it is, based on its limitations. That is
not a problem, and in true for every pretimeout function. Set it to 0,
and it is turned off. Set it to a value other than 0, and it is turned on.

That is your opinion. It is still a user decision to turn it on or off,
just like it is a user decision to set the timeout to a specific value
or to enable the watchdog in the first place. There is no reason to
make it mandatory just because an interrupt has been provided
(or, rather, connected).

Also, if the interrupt is not provided, WDIOF_PRETIMEOUT is not set,
and trying to set the pretimeout would return -EOPNOTSUPP.
