depends on GPIO_WATCHDOG=y

and then you can drop this sentence.

If in doubt, say N.

If you change the dependency as suggested above, you don't need
the exit function at all, and you can simplify this code to

#ifdef GPIO_WATCHDOG_ARCH_INITCALL
arch_initcall(gpio_wdt_init);
#else
module_platform_driver(gpio_wdt_driver);
#endif

which would look much nicer.
