To tell the truth, this matter has been examined, but I forgot this.
Thank you for making it recall(^^
I performed minor fixes which you pointed out.
But I leaves WDT_WP[0123] on purpose.
The interpretation of this value is different between PPC4xx and e500.
To unite them, I leaves this.
Ok, that makes sense.

In include/linux/device.h there are dev_printk and dev_dbg macros that
do pretty much the same thing.  Could you use those instead?
I did not know such thing.
I'll try to use them.
On second thought, I found that it is not so good idea.
If I change this according to what you said, it is not
easy to find which driver outputs messages when we can
use multiple WDT in a system.

Macros in include/linux/device.h will use name member in miscdevice 
struct as driver's name, and this is commonly named as "watchdog".
Ok, that's fine too.  No complaints here.
FYI, I show the difference with the patch submitted last time.


Regards,I'll test this driver today, just in case, before I post the 
revised edition of this driver.
Thanks!  Looks good.
