Meta-comment about watchdog drivers, this is per-driver, not per-device,
which does not make sense for when these devices are on removable busses
where you can have multiple ones.

I don't suggest changing this (as it follows the current style of other
watchdog drivers), but perhaps a sysfs attribute for watchdog devices
can do the same thing in the future so you can do this on a per-device
basis.

Anyway, driver looks good to me, nice work!
