I really think this should be handled in the calling code.
Also, I am curious how this is supposed to work.

The code is called with

ret = bd70528_wdt_set(r->parent, new_state & BD70528_WDT_STATE_BIT,
old_state);

from bd70528_set_rtc_based_timers(). That same function subsequently
calls bd70528_set_elapsed_tmr() with the same parameter, and that
parameter is dereferenced in bd70528_set_elapsed_tmr() without checking.

Conceptually, it should not be necessary to determine at compile-time
which of the chips is in the system. It should be posible to compile
a single kernel which supports all chips.
