8deea83064 watchdog: Remove unnecessary OOM messages
The site-specific OOM messages are unnecessary, because they
duplicate the MM subsystem generic OOM message. For example,
k.alloc and v.alloc failures use dump_stack().

9539210e17 watchdog: Drop unnecessary include of miscdevice.h
After commit 487722cf2 (watchdog: Get rid of MODULE_ALIAS_MISCDEV
statements) the affected drivers no longer need to include miscdevice.h.
Only exception is rt2880_wdt.c which never needed it.

487722cf2d watchdog: Get rid of MODULE_ALIAS_MISCDEV statements
I just can't find any value in MODULE_ALIAS_MISCDEV(WATCHDOG_MINOR)
and MODULE_ALIAS_MISCDEV(TEMP_MINOR) statements.

Either the device is enumerated and the driver already has a module
alias (e.g. PCI, USB etc.) that will get the right driver loaded
automatically.

Or the device is not enumerated and loading its driver will lead to
more or less intrusive hardware poking. Such hardware poking should be
limited to a bare minimum, so the user should really decide which
drivers should be tried and in what order. Trying them all in
arbitrary order can't do any good.

On top of that, loading that many drivers at once bloats the kernel
log. Also many drivers will stay loaded afterward, bloating the output
of "lsmod" and wasting memory. Some modules (cs5535_mfgpt which gets
loaded as a dependency) can't even be unloaded!

If defining char-major-10-130 is needed then it should happen in
user-space.
