The driver still performs direct IO. Why do you remove this
include file ?

The PCI vendor IDs used by the driver are declared in this file.
Is there a direction somewhere suggesting that this file
should not be directly included ?

Please no double declarations. This is only needed for the NMI
code to pass to hpwdt_stop where it isn't used. It would be
easy to introduce _hpwdt_stop() with no parameter and call that
function frm hpwdt_stop().

checkpatch warning. Also, this should be dev_err() since it is fatal.

The watchdog is already registered and the device can already have been
opened at this point. The watchdog would have to be stopped before
registering the watchdog.

A better approach would be to detect if the watchdog is running and inform
the watchdog core about it. The code in the stop function suggests that
this would be possible. This would ensure that the watchdog protection
during boot is retained.

Those two functions should be called before registering the watchdog.
Also, there is a checkpatch warning.
