The FIXME comment has been in-tree since the very first git commit. The described behavior has been since relied on by some userspace, e.g. the util-linux wdctl command and has been ignored by some kernelspace, like the f71808e_wdt driver. The functionality is useful to have to be able to differentiate between a driver that doesn't support WDIOF_CARDRESET and one that does, but hasn't had a watchdog reset, thus drop the FIXME to encourage drivers adopting this convention.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
