[ Upstream commit 87b22656ca6a896d0378e9e60ffccb0c82f48b08 ] Doing a 'cat /dev/watchdog0' with menz069_wdt as watchdog0 will result in a NULL pointer dereference. This happens because we're passing the wrong pointer to watchdog_register_device(). Fix this by getting rid of the static watchdog_device structure and use the one embedded into the driver's per-instance private data.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
