Returning early in a platform driver's remove callback is wrong. In this
case the watchdog device is never removed although it's parent is gone
which likely can trigger a use-after-free in sysfs. Also the two used
clocks will never be disabled.
Instead only warn if s3c2410wdt_enable() fails and cleanup. Note that
returning 0 is the right thing to do then to suppress another warning
message by the driver core.
