Subject: watchdog: core: Fix devres_alloc() allocation size
From: Guenter Roeck <linux@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit 2e91838bf7ffdedabdb29e091207d6531d04ef4f upstream.
Coverity reports:
Passing argument 152UL /* sizeof (*wdd) */ to function __devres_alloc_node
and then casting the return value to struct watchdog_device ** is
suspicious.
Allocation size needs to be sizeof(*rcwdd), not sizeof(*wdd).
Fixes: 83fbae5a148c ("watchdog: Add a device managed API for ...")
