The commit message should be changed for more precisely.
"WDIOF_CARDRESET => the system is reset due to WDT timeout occurs."
This change can be updated with a new patch version.

As the discussion in the previous patch series, there is no consensus for graceful
reset flag in WDT framework. Thus, this patch only distinguishes WDT reset from
other reset reasons.

Yes.

The commit message can be updated.
