[PATCH v2] watchdog: Add a device managed API for watchdog_register_device()

From: Neil Armstrong
Date: Fri May 27 2016 - 11:33:51 EST


This helps in reducing code in .remove callbacks and sometimes
dropping .remove callbacks entirely.

Changes since v1 at http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1464251510-15554-1-git-send-email-narmstrong@xxxxxxxxxxxx :
- Fix brackets in devm_watchdog_register_device()
