watchdog: Add multiple device support
We keep the old /dev/watchdog interface file for the first watchdog via miscdev. This is basically a cut and paste of the relevant interface code from the rtc driver layer tweaked for watchdog. Revised to fix problems noted by Hans de Goede Signed-off-by: Alan Cox <alan@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: Hans de Goede <hdegoede@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Tomas Winkler <tomas.winkler@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Wim Van Sebroeck <wim@iguana.be>
