Hi Guenter,

thank you for finding the cause of the problem! Removing the
cancel_delayed_work_sync call from watchdog_release in watchdog_dev.c
did fix the lockdep warning on all my boards [without having to revert
commit 11d7aba9ce (watchdog: imx2: Convert to use infrastructure
triggered keepalives) first].

Cheers,
