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.

In preparation to switching the jz4740 clk driver to the common clk framework
make sure to pass the device to clk_get().

Convert all uses of devm_request_and_ioremap() to the newly introduced
devm_ioremap_resource() which provides more consistent error handling.
devm_ioremap_resource() provides its own error messages so all explicit
error messages can be removed from the failure code paths.

Since we changed the behaviour of the set_timeout operation in the
watchdog API, we need to change the allready converted drivers so
that they update the timeout field at the end of the set_timeout
operation.

This patch converts jz4740_wdt driver to use watchdog core APIs.
Also use devm_* APIs to save a few error handling code.

This patch converts the drivers in drivers/watchdog/* to use the
module_platform_driver() macro which makes the code smaller and a bit
simpler.
