watchdog: mpc8xxx_wdt: Convert to use device managed functions and other improvements
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 Signed-off-by: Guenter Roeck <linux@roeck-us.net> Reviewed-by: Christophe Leroy <christophe.leroy@c-s.fr> Signed-off-by: Wim Van Sebroeck <wim@linux-watchdog.org>
