I just can't find any value in MODULE_ALIAS_MISCDEV(WATCHDOG_MINOR)
and MODULE_ALIAS_MISCDEV(TEMP_MINOR) statements.
Either the device is enumerated and the driver already has a module
alias (e.g. PCI, USB etc.) that will get the right driver loaded
automatically.
Or the device is not enumerated and loading its driver will lead to
more or less intrusive hardware poking. Such hardware poking should be
limited to a bare minimum, so the user should really decide which
drivers should be tried and in what order. Trying them all in
arbitrary order can't do any good.
On top of that, loading that many drivers at once bloats the kernel
log. Also many drivers will stay loaded afterward, bloating the output
of "lsmod" and wasting memory. Some modules (cs5535_mfgpt which gets
loaded as a dependency) can't even be unloaded!
If defining char-major-10-130 is needed then it should happen in
user-space.

of_match_ptr() is a macro used to avoid undefined reference error if
CONFIG_OF is used to selectively compile in or out the
data structure. It is defined as follows:
#ifdef CONFIG_OF
#define of_match_ptr(ptr) ptr
#else
#define of_match_ptr(ptr) NULL
#endif
In the case of this series, none of the drivers use CONFIG_OF macro to
compile out the data structure (i.e., the data structure is always
defined).
Hence the use of of_match_ptr() does not make any sense. Thus removing
it to make the code look simpler for readability.

Pull watchdog updates from Wim Van Sebroeck:
- Removal of the Documentation/watchdog/00-INDEX file
- Fix boot status reporting for imx2_wdt
- clean-up sp805_wdt, pnx4008_wdt and mpcore_wdt
- convert printk in watchdog drivers to pr_ functions
- change nowayout module parameter to bool for every watchdog device
- conversion of jz4740_wdt, pnx4008_wdt, max63xx_wdt, softdog,
ep93xx_wdt, coh901327 and txx9wdt to new watchdog API
- Add support for the WDIOC_GETTIMELEFT ioctl call to the new watchdog
API
- Change the new watchdog API so that the driver updates the timeout
value
- two fixes for the xen_wdt driver
Fix up conflicts in ep93xx driver due to the same patches being merged
through separate branches.

A pointer to at91wdt_probe is passed to the core via
platform_driver_register and so the function must not disappear when the
.init sections are discarded. Otherwise (if also having HOTPLUG=y)
unbinding and binding a device to the driver via sysfs will result in an
oops as does a device being registered late.
An alternative to this patch is using platform_driver_probe instead of
platform_driver_register plus removing the pointer to the probe function
from the struct platform_driver.

The recently merged AT91SAM9 watchdog driver uses the
AT91SAM9X_WATCHDOG config variable, whereas the original version of
the driver (and the platform support code) used AT91SAM9_WATCHDOG.
This causes the watchdog platform_device to never be registered, and
therefore the driver not to be initialized.
This patch:
- updates the platform support code to use AT91SAM9X_WATCHDOG.
- includes <linux/io.h> to fix compile error (same fix as was applied
to at91rm9200_wdt.c)
- fixes comment regarding watchdog clock-rates in at91rm9200.

This brings the watchdog drivers into line with coding style.
This patch takes cares of the indentation as described in chapter 1.
Main changes:
* Re-structure the ioctl switch call for all drivers as follows:
switch (cmd) {
case WDIOC_GETSUPPORT:
case WDIOC_GETSTATUS:
case WDIOC_GETBOOTSTATUS:
case WDIOC_GETTEMP:
case WDIOC_SETOPTIONS:
case WDIOC_KEEPALIVE:
case WDIOC_SETTIMEOUT:
case WDIOC_GETTIMEOUT:
case WDIOC_GETTIMELEFT:
default:
}
This to make the migration from the drivers to the uniform watchdog
device driver easier in the future.

Since 43cc71eed1, the platform modalias is
prefixed with "platform:". Add MODULE_ALIAS() to the hotpluggable watchdog
drivers, to re-enable auto loading.
