We need few sysfs attributes to know different status of a watchdog device.
To do that, we need to associate .dev_groups with watchdog_class. So
convert it from pointer to static.
Putting this static struct in watchdog_dev.c, so that static device
attributes defined in that file can be attached to it.

As things evolve, I'd by now prefer to move the call to device_create()
into watchdog_dev.c, but that can wait for a follow-up patch if Wim
is ok with this series.

Thanks for your quick review.

OK. I will wait for Wim's comment and then may be I will send another
version with your comment for patch 1/1 incorporated.


Thinking about it, my comment is really minor and should not hold up the
series from going forward. So let's just skip another version unless Wim
or someone else has any comments.

Thanks,
Guenter
