Hi Florian,

That's not very nice. I would have prefered to pass the pci_dev pointer along
with the platform data to the gpio and watchdog drivers. And then those could
call pci_read_config_dword() directly.

If you want to keep your static pci_dev pointer around, please replace this
routine with:

int rdc321x_pci_read(int reg, u32 *val)
{
	return pci_read_config_dword(rdc321x_sb_pdev, reg, val);
}

Ditto.

Please use dev_err()

As Wim pointed out, moving those definitions from rdc321x_defs.h to here
should be done in one patch, to avoid bisection breakage.
So, please merge the first patch of your serie with this one, and add a
watchdog driver fix that includes inux/mfd/rdc321x.h instead of
rdc321x_defs.h.

Cheers,
Samuel.
