The 'dev' variable in watchdog drivers has a different lifetime than the watchdog character device and should therefore not be used by watchdog drivers.
Some of the drivers use the variable to print kernel messages. Those are either dropped or converted to use pr_ functions. One driver sets the variable during initialization to the watchdog driver's parent device, which is wrong and also removed. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
