Has support for providing module parameters with the kernel command line
been discontinued/deprecated, or did it run out of favor ? Sorry if I
missed that.
nowayout has a configuration default. A module parameter is sometimes
provided by drivers to be able to override it. The timeout provided
via devicetree or on the command line is only the initial/default
timeout, and the watchdog daemon can change it after opening the
watchdog device as it sees fit.
