6.5-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Raag Jadav <raag.jadav@xxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit cf38e7691c85f1b09973b22a0b89bf1e1228d2f9 ] When built with CONFIG_INTEL_MID_WATCHDOG=m, currently the driver needs to be loaded manually, for the lack of module alias. This causes unintended resets in cases where watchdog timer is set-up by bootloader and the driver is not explicitly loaded. Add MODULE_ALIAS() to load the driver automatically at boot and avoid this issue.
