   4 Subject: [PATCH] MIPS: ath79: use dynamically allocated watchdog device
   5
   6 commit 0f2ad9ed7c6fecb008372e8a709595a2a21059aa upstream.
   7
   8 Remove the static watchdog device variable and use
   9 the 'platform_device_register_simple' helper to
  10 allocate and register the device in one step.
  11
  12 This allows us to save a few bytes in the kernel image.
