Oops, I missed that discussion. Out of curiosity,
What watchdog framework/consumer is going to do with a
Non-error return value of 1?

You mean what the watchdog subsystem does if a driver violates its API ?
That is undefined. The API says:
* start: this is a pointer to the routine that starts the watchdog timer
device.
The routine needs a pointer to the watchdog timer device structure as a
parameter. It returns zero on success or a negative errno code for failure.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
We are not going to change the API, if that is what you are suggesting.

> That is undefined. The API says:
The return value of 1 from pm_runtime_put() is not an error
If it is propagated to framework, it return as an error.
So as you suggested below, the driver needs to either pass zero or error code.
But mot non-error value such as 1.
See watchdog_reboot_notifier():
The driver stop() callback may return 1 and reboot won't work
as it is returning NOTIFY_BAD.
ret = wdd->ops->stop(wdd);
trace_watchdog_stop(wdd, ret);
if (ret)
return NOTIFY_BAD;
