Besides all of its problems, seems to me that could (or should) be a generic gpio
watchdog driver, possibly with device tree bindings describing how the various
gpio pins are used.

The result of !! is 0 or 1, so reset will never be larger than 1.

Not sure if using fixed numbers for gpio pins is a good idea or even
correct. You might want to pass that by the gpio maintainers.

Meaning this will never happen.

Wonder if the maintainer will let you bypass the infrastructure with those
attributes. I wouldn't.

What is this flag for ?

Pretty long sleep. You really want to put applications to sleep for that long
when pinging the watchdog ? I'd be more than a bit concerned that this might be
problematic for applications expecting to do something else besides sleeping in
a watchdog ping call.

Hmmm ... did you ever try to set the timeout ?

dev_err is preferred for messages, but I wonder what value you expect
from this message (and other similar messages) in the error log.

What does this function offer that is not in the infrastructure ?

You might want to look into the reasons for using devm_ functions.
