[PATCH v2] watchdog: ebc-c384_wdt: Utilize devm_ functions in driver probe callback

Show all headers | View raw

The devm_ resource manager functions allow memory to be automatically
released when a device is unbound. This patch takes advantage of the
resource manager functions and replaces the watchdog_register_device
call with the devm_watchdog_register_device call. In addition, the
ebc_c384_wdt_remove function has been removed as no longer necessary due
to the use of the relevant devm_ resource manager functions.

Changes in v2:
  - Removed dev_set_drvdata call in ebc_c384_wdt_probe; now that
    ebc_c384_wdt_remove is gone, the driver_data doesn't need to be set
