Subject: [GIT PULL REQUEST] watchdog - v3.14-rc4 Fixes

Hi Linus,

Please pull from 'master' branch of
	git://www.linux-watchdog.org/linux-watchdog.git

It corrects the error code when no device was found for w83697hf_wdt.

    watchdog: w83697hf_wdt: return ENODEV if no device was found
    
    Most WDT driver modules return ENODEV during modprobe if
    no valid device was found, but w83697hf_wdt returns EIO.
    
    Let w83697hf_wdt return ENODEV.
