This is again personal opinion and needs an acknowledgement
by driver authors. It is only necessary if one wants to support
that the watchdog is force-stopped by killing the watchdog daemon
(which leaves the watchdog running) and subsequently unloading
the driver. The call is not 'missing'; otherwise the core could
just do it. For that reason it should not be added with the argument
that it would be 'missing'. This will require a better argument.
Why is that call needed ? What is the use case ?
