Ah, I thought the warning is done in the caller of the modified
function. Maybe this means the commit log can be improved to for
example:

The function watchdog_init_timeout() itself already emits a
more informative warning on failure. So drop the driver specific
one.

Otherwise my concerns are eliminated.
