If the watchdog hardware is already enabled during the boot process,
when the Linux watchdog driver loads, it should reset the watchdog and
tell the watchdog framework. As a result, ping can be generated from
the watchdog framework, until the userspace watchdog daemon takes over
control

Note ENABLE_MASK contains two bits (INT_ENABLE and RESET_ENABLE); 
therefore, a simple !!(expression) would not work? That is, the masked 
result needs to be compared against the mask again to ensure both bits 
are set, right?

Ray - your original code looks correct to me.  Easier to read and less 
prone to errors as shown in the attempted translation to a single statement.

Thanks,

Ray
