Made it all tabs.

Good point removed the check.

Yeah the return isn't needed anymore.

Yep, removed the mask.

Went down the 1st route.

Done.

Well it sits on a self describing bus so no device-tree needed here. Anyways made it 0.

Well as I'm not really working on watchdogs often I just copy&pasted
it from mena21_wdt.c which was my first driver some years ago. So this
might be the reason for this oddity. Anyways fixed it.

This is a leftover from debugging the Qemu emulation of the device I
guess, removed it now.
