From: Colin Ian King <[email protected]>

Currently a failed memory allocation will lead to a null pointer
dereference on point wdt. Fix this by checking for a failed allocation
and adding error return handling to function ds1307_wdt_register.

IMHO, one "return err;" is sufficient.

As the watchdog is optional and the RTC can work properly without the
watchdog driver being compiled, my opinion is that the error should not
be returned.

This bit is weird. I guess just delete the "return 0;" without
introducing a new "return err;".
