AFAICT, this is happening when RAVE SP core and watchdog drivers are
built as built-in and NVMEM is selected as module. Looking at other
users on NVMEM in the kernel is seems that the pattern to prevent this
problem is to add "depends on NVMEM || !NVMEM" line to consumer's
Kconfig entry.

I'll submit a patch to that effect shortly.
