What you see there is the typical case where there is only one watchdog in
the system, /dev/watchdog0, which is registered as the default watchdog
via /dev/watchdog. If you have another watchdog enabled, e.g. softdog, you
will see:
root@h3ulcb:~# ls -l /dev/watchdog*
crw------- 1 root root 10, 130 Mar 28 20:37 /dev/watchdog
crw------- 1 root root 247, 0 Mar 28 20:37 /dev/watchdog0
crw------- 1 root root 247, 1 Mar 28 20:37 /dev/watchdog1
In the above case, `watchdog0` is aliased to `watchdog` but you may prefer
to test the non-default `watchdog1` instead (rather than changing your
kernel config if one or more are built-in, preventing testing of the
non-default watchdog).

Oops, right, thanks for that report.
I'll add the following in the next update:
diff --git a/tools/testing/selftests/watchdog/watchdog-test.c b/tools/testing/selftests/watchdog/watchdog-test.c
index ebeb684552b9..9f17cae61007 100644

Thanks!
