8126334b20 watchdog: delete non-required instances of include <linux/init.h>
None of these files are actually using any __init type directives
and hence don't need to include <linux/init.h>.  Most are just a
left over from __devinit and __cpuinit removal, or simply due to
code getting copied from one driver to the next.

9539210e17 watchdog: Drop unnecessary include of miscdevice.h
After commit 487722cf2 (watchdog: Get rid of MODULE_ALIAS_MISCDEV
statements) the affected drivers no longer need to include miscdevice.h.
Only exception is rt2880_wdt.c which never needed it.

487722cf2d watchdog: Get rid of MODULE_ALIAS_MISCDEV statements
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.

bc8fdfbe75 watchdog: use dev_get_platdata()
Use the wrapper function for retrieving the platform data instead of
accessing dev->platform_data directly.

de6303ab93 watchdog: add new driver for STMP3xxx and i.MX23/28
Replace the existing STMP3xxx driver because it has enough drawbacks
that a rewrite is apropriate. The new driver is designed to use the
watchdog framework which makes it a lot smaller and avoids open coding
the watchdog API again. It also uses now an explicitly exported function
from the RTC driver to set up its registers (the old driver silently
reused the hopefully(!) already remapped RTC registers). Also, this
driver is mach independent, while the old one depends on a mach replaced
by another one a year ago. Since the user interface is still the
standard watchdog API, users don't need to adapt.
