We have a watchdog driver layer now. Any new driver should be using that.
It deals with a lot of the work for you so you'll just need the actual
methods doing the work. It also registers both the legacy device and new
style watchdog nodes as appropriate so you can have multiple watchdogs on
a system.

Look at watchdog_core.c and watchdog_dev.c and the various things that
use it.
