I have to ask, do you really mean "+" here as this is not the overall
license of the kernel.  It's not a normal license for your employer to
pick, so as long as you have legal approval, it's fine, but if not, you
need to get that.

It's a driver, you shouldn't need any pr_* calls.

KBUILD_MODNAME?

"versions" mean nothing once the code is in the kernel, please drop
this.

But why isn't this in the normal watchdog subdirectory?  Why is this a
special driver?

When drivers work properly, they are quiet.

Again, why not have this in drivers/watchdog/ and use the apis there
instead of creating a custom one for no reason?
