This is not a repair, this is a convertion to use the
watchdog core (which also happens to fix a compile error).

The driver should also be converted to a platform device,
and be instantiated from arch/mips/pnx833x/common/platform.c
like the various other drivers in that syste,. As currently
written, the driver would be instantiated whenever it is built
into an image or loaded, which could result in a crash if
it is loaded on a system where the IO addresses it uses are
not mapped.

More comments inline.

This structure is unnecessary. You can use struct
watchdog_device directly.

The default should be set in struct watchdog_device.timeout,
and the module parameter should (only) be used to override it,
and be initialized with 0. More on that see below.

Why drop this ? Someone may use it, and the watchdog core
supports it.

This should be static. Actually, it should be dynamically
allocated, which is easy if/when the driver is converted
to a platform driver.

This should set WDIOF_CARDRESET, and I would suggest to drop the message
(no one is going to read it anyway).

The above can be handled in the watchdog core if needed.

Also set min_timeout to 1.

pnx833x_wdd.wdd.timeout should be initialized with the
default, and the new value should be set with
watchdog_init_timeout(&wdd, pnx833x_wdt_timeout, NULL);

This also takes care of error handling.

Sure this is not anymore version 0.1. I'd suggest to drop
the version information since it is useless.

As mentioned above, I don't see a reason for dropping this.
The driver can call it prior to watchdog registration, and
set WDOG_HW_RUNNING in wdd->status.
