Ok, no problem, will fix, but I have two questions.

First, what's the reason? Coding style or a functional difference?
Usually const data is preferred to runtime assignment.

Second: it's not clear how you expect it to be done. Looking into the
kernel it looks like almost all drivers set a constant string. I could
find only one exception, f71808e_wdt:
https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v5.16-rc3/source/drivers/watchdog/f71808e_wdt.c#L471

> Either keep the current identity string,

And also remove 'static' I guess. Hm, I don't love this, as above I tend
to prefer static const when possible for file-scoped data.

> or add the structure to max77620_wdt and fill it out there.

Do you mean like the following, untested, kind-of-pseudocode?

 struct max77620_wdt {
 	struct device			*dev;
 	struct regmap			*rmap;
	const struct max77620_variant	*drv_data;
+	struct watchdog_info		info;     /* not a pointer! */
 	struct watchdog_device		wdt_dev;
 };

and then, in probe:

   wdt->dev = dev;
   wdt->drv_data = (const struct max77620_variant *)id->driver_data;
   /* ... assign other wdt fields ... */
+  strlcpy(wdt_dev->info.identity, id->name, \
+          sizeof(wdt_dev->info.identity));
+  wdt_dev->info.options = WDIOF_SETTIMEOUT | WDIOF_KEEPALIVEPING | \
+                          WDIOF_MAGICCLOSE;

Finally, what about simply:

 static const struct max77620_variant max77620_wdt_data = {
	.wdt_info = {
-		.identity = "max77620-watchdog",
+		.identity = "max77xxx-watchdog",
		.options = WDIOF_SETTIMEOUT | WDIOF_KEEPALIVEPING | ...
	},

and always use that struct unconditionally? The max63xx_wdt.c driver
seems to do that. Or, if this is an issue for backward compatibility (is
it?), just leave max77620_wdt_data and the .identity field will always
be "max77620-watchdog" even when using a MAX77714.

Thanks for you patience in reading so far.
