  • Use device managed functions to simplify error handling, reduce
    source code size, improve readability, and reduce the likelyhood of bugs.
    Other improvements as listed below.

    The conversion was done automatically with coccinelle using the
    following semantic patches. The semantic patches and the scripts
    used to generate this commit log are available at
    https://github.com/groeck/coccinelle-patches

    - Drop empty remove function
    - Introduce local variable 'struct device *dev' and use it instead of
    dereferencing it repeatedly
    - Use devm_watchdog_register_driver() to register watchdog device

  • /sys/class/watchdog/watchdogn/device/modalias can help to identify the
    driver/module for a given watchdog node. However, many wdt devices do not
    set their parent and so, we do not see an entry for device in sysfs for
    such devices.

    This patch fixes parent of watchdog_device so that
    /sys/class/watchdog/watchdogn/device is populated.

    Exceptions: booke, diag288, octeon, softdog and w83627hf -- They do not
    have any parent. Not sure, how we can identify driver for these devices.

  • I just can't find any value in MODULE_ALIAS_MISCDEV(WATCHDOG_MINOR)
    and MODULE_ALIAS_MISCDEV(TEMP_MINOR) statements.

    Either the device is enumerated and the driver already has a module
    alias (e.g. PCI, USB etc.) that will get the right driver loaded
    automatically.

    Or the device is not enumerated and loading its driver will lead to
    more or less intrusive hardware poking. Such hardware poking should be
    limited to a bare minimum, so the user should really decide which
    drivers should be tried and in what order. Trying them all in
    arbitrary order can't do any good.

    On top of that, loading that many drivers at once bloats the kernel
    log. Also many drivers will stay loaded afterward, bloating the output
    of "lsmod" and wasting memory. Some modules (cs5535_mfgpt which gets
    loaded as a dependency) can't even be unloaded!

    If defining char-major-10-130 is needed then it should happen in
    user-space.

  • Use the wrapper function for retrieving the platform data instead of
    accessing dev->platform_data directly.
