 pc87413_wdt driver to utilize common watchdog interface (fwd)

Hello all, Guenter,

I am being evaluated as a student by my organization. I appreciate your 
patience with my emails and patches.

I would like to please propose that we divide and conquer: I write the 
code for converting the driver to common watchdog interface (and I thank 
you for your guidance on it in previous email) and you test the code on 
the actual hardware you may happen to have, as I do not have it. I accept 
the fact that it is indeed risky without the hardware to ensure the driver 
works correctly, but that will be where we work in tandem, software to 
hardware, yes, if that's alright?

I think it's better if I use git send-email for the corresponding patch 
with the improvements you forecasted since it may format things better and 
may result in a non-corrupted patching.

Thank you,
Mark
