I just can't find any value in MODULE_ALIAS_MISCDEV(WATCHDOG_MINOR)
and MODULE_ALIAS_MISCDEV(TEMP_MINOR) statements.

Either the device is enumerated and the driver already has a module
alias (e.g. PCI, USB etc.) that will get the right driver loaded
automatically.

Or the device is not enumerated and loading its driver will lead to
more or less intrusive hardware poking. Such hardware poking should be
limited to a bare minimum, so the user should really decide which
drivers should be tried and in what order. Trying them all in
arbitrary order can't do any good.

On top of that, loading that many drivers at once bloats the kernel
log. Also many drivers will stay loaded afterward, bloating the output
of "lsmod" and wasting memory. Some modules (cs5535_mfgpt which gets
loaded as a dependency) can't even be unloaded!

If defining char-major-10-130 is needed then it should happen in
user-space.

nowayout is actually a boolean value.
So make it bool for all watchdog device drivers.

Use the current logging styles.

Make sure all output has a prefix.
Add missing newlines.
Remove now unnecessary PFX, NAME, and miscellaneous other #defines.
Coalesce formats.

Using the RTAS watchdog driver to read out the temperature crashes
on a PXCAB:

Unable to handle kernel paging request for data at address 0xfe347b50
Faulting instruction address: 0xc00000000001af64
Oops: Kernel access of bad area, sig: 11 [#1]

The wrong usage of "(void *)__pa(&amp;temperature)" in rtas_call() is
removed by using the function rtas_get_sensor() which does the
right thing.

The buffer passed to the ibm,get-system-parameter RTAS call must be
in the RMA.  To ensure we pass an address in the RMA use rtas_data_buf
for the actual RTAS call and then copy the result to value.  We can't
just make it static because this can be compiled in as a module.

Also add the WDRTAS_SP_SPI_LEN so we don't litter '4' throughout the
function.
