SubjectRe: [PATCH v2 0/5] watchdog: Do not use 'dev' from watchdog_device in watchdog drivers
Hi Guenter,

> The 'dev' variable in watchdog drivers has a different lifetime than the
> watchdog character device and should therefore not be used by watchdog
> drivers.
>
> Some of the drivers use the variable to print kernel messages. Those
> messages are either dropped or changed to use the parent device.
> One driver sets the variable during initialization to the watchdog
> driver's parent device, which is wrong and was removed.
>
> v2: Use parent device for dev_XXX messages instead of pr_XXX.

This patchset has been added to linux-watchdog-next.

Kind regards,
Wim.
