Not really, both this driver and the watchdog driver are of the
"always-compile-in" (bool) type, you really don't want to load the
watchdog as a module, because then the watchdog cannot safeguard
the module loading process to that point :-P

So we just call these from compile-in code.

I actually have Jonas' watchdog driver ready as well if you want
me to submit it on top of this patch set so you get the whole
picture.

Linus Walleij
