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.

Convert all uses of devm_request_and_ioremap() to the newly introduced
devm_ioremap_resource() which provides more consistent error handling.
devm_ioremap_resource() provides its own error messages so all explicit
error messages can be removed from the failure code paths.

Add support for OF. We also apply the following small fixes
* reduce boiler plate by using devm_request_and_ioremap
* sane error path for the clock
* move LTQ_RST_CAUSE_WDTRST to a soc specific header file
* add a message to show that the driver loaded

Data allocated with devm_ioremap or devm_ioremap_nocache should not be
freed using iounmap, because doing so causes a dangling pointer, and a
subsequent double free.
The semantic match that finds this problem is as follows:

The enable function was using the global timeout variable for local operations.
This resulted in the value of the global variable being corrupted, thus
breaking the code.
