From: Jan Kiszka <jan.kiszka@siemens.com>

Prominent userspace - systemd - cannot handle watchdogs without
WDIOF_SETTIMEOUT, even if it was configured to the same time as the
driver selected or was used by firmware to start the watchdog. To avoid
failing in this case, implement a handler that only fails if a deviating
set_timeout is requested.
