Given that this is no longer a pure hwmon driver, it may make sense to
split it into separate mfd/hwmon/watchdog drivers. But on the other side
I notice that other drivers in the hwmon directory implement watchdog
functionality as well. Bad precedent :(. Wonder what happens with those
watchdogs if HWMON is disabled.

Not really sure if we should let this happen, or start being more
restrictive and enforce cleaner code. Jean, any thoughts/comments ?
