Otherwise this causes inadvertent reset to trigger right after the resume is complete.

It is unlikely but still possible (e.g. through a software limitation) that only a subset of watchdogs on SoC has interrupt lines, hence functionally the devices from these two groups have different capabilities, and this is reflected in different watchdog_info structs assigned to the devices.

If a selected governor is gone, a watchdog device pretimeout notification is delegated to a default built-in pretimeout governor.

In general watchdog pretimeout event means that something essentially bad is going on the system, for example a process scheduler stalls or watchdog feeder is killed due to OOM, so printing out information attendant to panic and before likely unavoidable reboot caused by a watchdog may help to determine a root cause of the issue.

While introducing the first pretimeout governor the selected design assumes that the default pretimeout governor is selected by its name and it is always built-in, thus the default pretimeout governor can not be unregistered and the correspondent check can be removed from the watchdog_unregister_governor() function.
