[PATCH AUTOSEL 4.19 1/2] watchdog: menz069_wdt: fix watchdog initialisation

From: Sasha Levin
Date: Thu May 11 2023 - 15:44:04 EST


From: Johannes Thumshirn <jth@xxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 87b22656ca6a896d0378e9e60ffccb0c82f48b08 ]

Doing a 'cat /dev/watchdog0' with menz069_wdt as watchdog0 will result in
a NULL pointer dereference.

This happens because we're passing the wrong pointer to
watchdog_register_device(). Fix this by getting rid of the static
watchdog_device structure and use the one embedded into the driver's
per-instance private data.
