Re: [PATCH 21/22] watchdog: mpc8xxx_wdt: Convert to use device managed functions and other improvements

[Christophe Leroy]

Le 10/04/2019 Ã 18:28, Guenter Roeck a ÃcritÂ:
> Use device managed functions to simplify error handling, reduce
> source code size, improve readability, and reduce the likelyhood of bugs.
> Other improvements as listed below.
>
> The conversion was done automatically with coccinelle using the
> following semantic patches. The semantic patches and the scripts
> used to generate this commit log are available at
> https://github.com/groeck/coccinelle-patches
>
> - Drop assignments to otherwise unused variables
> - Drop empty remove function
>    This also drops the inaccurate message on remove; the driver won't be
>    removed if the hardware watchdog is running, no matter if the watchdog
>    device is open or not.
> - Use local variable 'struct device *dev' consistently
> - Use devm_watchdog_register_driver() to register watchdog device
