[PATCH v2] selftests: watchdog: Validate optional file argument

From: George G. Davis
Date: Mon Sep 16 2019 - 14:49:28 EST


As reported by Eugeniu Rosca, a side of affect of commit c3f2490d6e92
("selftests: watchdog: Add optional file argument") is that arbitrary files
may be opened for watchdog testing, e.g.

./watchdog-test -f /dev/zero
Watchdog Ticking Away!

To prevent watchdog-test from operating on non-watchdog device files,
validate that a file is indeed a watchdog device via an
ioctl(WDIOC_GETSUPPORT) call.

While we're at it, since the watchdog_info is available as a result of the
ioctl(WDIOC_GETSUPPORT) call, add a command line option to optionally show
the watchdog_info.
