Fix build error when
CONFIG_WATCHDOG_PRETIMEOUT_GOV=y
# CONFIG_WATCHDOG_PRETIMEOUT_GOV_NOOP is not set
# CONFIG_WATCHDOG_PRETIMEOUT_GOV_PANIC is not set

Fixes this build error:

../drivers/watchdog/watchdog_pretimeout.c: In function âwatchdog_register_governorâ:
../drivers/watchdog/watchdog_pretimeout.c:139:26: error: âWATCHDOG_PRETIMEOUT_DEFAULT_GOVâ undeclared (first use in this function)
if (!strncmp(gov->name, WATCHDOG_PRETIMEOUT_DEFAULT_GOV,


Ah, I knew I missed something. The following would be a better fix,
though, since it enforces that at least one pretimeout governor is enabled
(matching the old code):

diff --git a/drivers/watchdog/Kconfig b/drivers/watchdog/Kconfig
index e19960ace0c0..4a3461afa96f 100644
--- a/drivers/watchdog/Kconfig

help
The option allows to select watchdog pretimeout governors.

+config WATCHDOG_PRETIMEOUT_GOV_SEL
+ tristate
+ depends on WATCHDOG_PRETIMEOUT_GOV
+ default m
+ select WATCHDOG_PRETIMEOUT_GOV_PANIC if WATCHDOG_PRETIMEOUT_GOV_NOOP=n
+
if WATCHDOG_PRETIMEOUT_GOV

Can you send v2 with the above, or do you want me to send it and give you credit ?

Thanks,
