If the time is configurable then you want to support that ideally.

No - the watchdog driver needs to deal with hardware reboot, randomly
trying to exec things which may not even be where you expect isn't safe.
User space watchdog daemons can manage their own shutdown just fine. The
watchdog is there to catch the actual hang case.

Wrong order - your lock is left locked !

This should use the standard watchdog device

del_timer_sync to ensure it has run
You also need to sort out locking.
There is also no test to ensure the hardware is present so the driver
isn't safe to load on any PC hardware
Is there a magic signature to detect the hardware ?
