If it isn't essential, I would prefer to drop it for now.
Otherwise, you'll have to convince Wim to accept it.
I am personally not convinced that it is worthwhile.
Eother case, the core changes should be a separate patch
(or set of patches), so the work can be independent of each other.

[ We might want to explore if a sysfs attribute would make more sense
  than the poll/fasync changes, for example ]

In this context, does the driver have to reside in the ipmi directory ?
It would be better to have it in the watchdog directory; that would ensure
that the watchdog maintainer is involved if there are changes.
