What I meant is as far as I understand dev_wdt87xx->sys_param.fw_id is
what we've read from the controller when we probed the device. What is
the point in trying to re-read it with wdt87xx_get_sysparam()? Do we
expect it to somehow change?

No, you do not have to. I just wanted to make sure we are not
duplicating something that already exists.

I see.
