The patches have been in -next for a while, only Wim moved them
into a different branch to be able to send you a pull request.

In -next:

8e1828d605df watchdog: hpwdt: SMBIOS check
ee11fc2b6e73 watchdog: indydog: Add dependency on SGI_HAS_INDYDOG
bff862153935 watchdog: Fix kref imbalance seen if handle_boot_enabled=0
01cd17d9fe08 watchdog: Fix potential kref imbalance when opening watchdog

You might as well blame me since I asked Wim to either send those patches
to you or to let me do it, and I would have pulled the patches from Wim's
watchdog-next repository (or from linux-next) as well.
