Oh yes, this in preparation for adding watchdog support for the Fintek
F71808E (very similar to the F71889) to this driver.

I'll be sending in a patch for adding sensor hardware monitor support
for the F71808E first (i.e. before the addition of watchdog support).

PS I'm using the watchdog API as described in
   Documentation/watchdog/watchdog-api.txt.
