From 0254e953537c92df3e7d0176f401a211e944fd61 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
From: Guenter Roeck <linux@roeck-us.net>

Subject: watchdog: Drop pointer to watchdog device from struct watchdog_device

The lifetime of the watchdog device pointer is different from the lifetime
of its character device. Remove it entirely to avoid race conditions.
