The API change is fine, but I don't think you need to change all drivers.
Just add a small wrapper function in the header file doing the conversion:
static inline int watchdog_init_timeout(struct watchdog_device *wdd,
unsigned int timeout_parm, struct device *dev)
{
return watchdog_init_timeouts(wdd, timeout_parm, ~0ul, dev);
}
Then you can update the drivers that actually use the pretimeout to
use the new function at some point, and leave all other drivers calling
the wrapper function.
