All:

This patch is a follow up to this thread
https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/3/20/671. I am not sure what's the best way
to manager cross-tree dependency here, so, if there's something to be
done, please let me know.

Thanks,
Andrey Smirnov

I like the idea, but unfortunately wdd->parent can be NULL. Also, this would result
in the notifier being removed _after_ the watchdog device has been removed, which
would be bad as well.
