OK, my thought is
if panic is enabled :
|--------WOR-------WS0--------WOR-------WS1
|------timeout------(panic)------timeout-----reset
if panic is disabled .
|--------WOR-------WS0--------WOR-------WS1
|---------------------timeout---------------------reset
panic_enabled only can be configured when module is loaded by module parameter
But user should know that max_timeout(panic_enable) =
max_timeout(panic_disable) / 2

yes, makes sense. Maybe we can do something like this:
/*
* action refers to action taken when watchdog gets WS0
* 0 = SKIP
* 1 = PANIC
* defaults to SKIP (0)
*/
static int action;
module_param(action, int, 0);
MODULE_PARM_DESC(action, "after watchdog gets WS0 interrupt, do: "
"0 = SKIP(*) 1 = PANIC");
