Subject: watchdog: mt7621_wdt: Remove assignment of dev pointer
From: Guenter Roeck <linux@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit 8355b3f94425ac8b9683869354be935795f055ca upstream.
Commit 0254e953537c ("watchdog: Drop pointer to watchdog device from
struct watchdog_device") removed the dev pointer from struct
watchdog_device, but this driver was still assigning it, leading to
a compilation error:
drivers/watchdog/mt7621_wdt.c: In function 'mt7621_wdt_probe':
drivers/watchdog/mt7621_wdt.c:142:16: error:
'struct watchdog_device' has no member named 'dev'
Fix this by removing the assignment.
Fixes: 0254e953537c ("watchdog: Drop pointer to watchdog device ...")
