What's the point in having more than one watchdog active?
If you want more than one, why hardcode a specific limit?
I thought there might be such future need, nowdays it used
to test the stuff.
If nobody here wants it I have no problem to change the class just
to allow
one active watchdog.
Actually, I have a case right now. For us, a watchdog with minute
granularity is just too long, but that is the only hardware watchdog
available. So, we use softdog for finer granularity and the
additional crappy hardware watchdog just to catch cases that softdog
doesn't. I just wanted to pass along an example where more than one
watchdog is needed for your consideration.
