Primarily watchdog, but there is also unprotected initialization code
in several locations. I did convert the watchdog driver, and the changes
will be in v4.16. I did not touch the other code since none of the calls
has an error return.

Or if its call to alloc_resource() fails.

NP, though the analysis is quite simple - /proc/iomem will show the culprit.

I did check why the driver has such a bad performance, which is why
I submitted the other patch to change msleep() to usleep_range().

Evaulating the actual per-call overhead seems to be quite pointless, unless
someone volunteers to introduce a specific access API for situations like this.
It is definitely not a unique situation - I have to do something similar
in the out-of-tree it87 driver, for example.

I have been running the code on several systems since I submitted
the patch, together with the related changes in the watchdog driver.
