This is broken when built modular because this...

Can't be mixed.  You end up with two init_module invocations

drivers/watchdog/mpc8xxx_wdt.c:304: error: redefinition of '__inittest'
drivers/watchdog/mpc8xxx_wdt.c:298: error: previous definition of '__inittest' was here
drivers/watchdog/mpc8xxx_wdt.c:304: error: redefinition of 'init_module'
drivers/watchdog/mpc8xxx_wdt.c:298: error: previous definition of 'init_module' was here

Given they both call different routines though, I'm not sure the right fix here.
