Subject: [PATCH 1/2] watchdog: menz069_wdt: fix watchdog initialisation

Doing a 'cat /dev/watchdog0' with menz069_wdt as watchdog0 will result in
a NULL pointer dereference.

This happens because we're passing the wrong pointer to
watchdog_register_device(). Fix this by getting rid of the static
watchdog_device structure and use the one embedded into the driver's
per-instance private data.
