Subject: [PATCH] watchdog: bd70528: Add MODULE_ALIAS to allow module auto
 loading

The bd70528 watchdog driver is probed by MFD driver. Add MODULE_ALIAS
in order to allow udev to load the module when MFD sub-device cell for
watchdog is added.

I'm not really sure if this is a bug-fix or feature but I guess the
Fixes tag won't harm, right?
