I think it would be better to use
    dev_emerg()
    dev_crit()
    dev_alert()
    dev_err()
    dev_warn()
    dev_notice()

instead of pr_* functions now when we have a device to use.

In this case watchdog_init_timout() will:
1) Check if soft_margin is valid
2) if not, keep hpwdt_dev.timout intact (which is already set in
declaration of hpwdt_dev)

So we could remove the condition and only keep
watchdog_init_timeout(&hpwdt_dev, soft_margin, NULL);


Also, we need to set an invalid initial value for soft_margin to make
the logic for watchdog_init_timeout work. 

i.e
- static unsigned int soft_margin = DEFAULT_MARGIN;	/* in seconds */
+ static unsigned int soft_margin;

print hpwdt_dev.timeout instead of soft_margin
