As I see in the watchdog driver code, the device is created just on
module load, whenever the hardware present or not.  Actually, if there
is no hardware watchdog, modern kernel should attach a software one.  It
is obviously less reliable, but we successfully use that one in some of
our products.

I'd look more for BMC firmware update, not BIOS.  Or both, if available.
