Subject: watchdog: fix rio watchdog probe function
From: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

After sucessfully registering the misc device the driver iounmaps the
hardware registers and kfree's the device data structure.  Ouch !

This was introduced with commit e42311d75 (riowatchdog: Convert to
pure OF driver) and went unnoticed for more than a year :)

Return success instead of dropping into the error cleanup code path.
