You can always deduce the device from the interface. There's
no need to store it.

We have macros for such conversions. Please use them.

Why rewrite only a part of the buffer this way?

If the result of a failure would be a spurious reset, you cannot drop
errors.

That is problematic. A disconnect can be triggered by removal of
the hardware or in software through sysfs. In the latter case a
running device without a driver would trigger a reset, wouldn't it?
So I think for watchdog devices you need to go to an inactive
state in disconnect().
