After commit 487722cf2 (watchdog: Get rid of MODULE_ALIAS_MISCDEV
statements) the affected drivers no longer need to include miscdevice.h.
Only exception is rt2880_wdt.c which never needed it.

I just can't find any value in MODULE_ALIAS_MISCDEV(WATCHDOG_MINOR)
and MODULE_ALIAS_MISCDEV(TEMP_MINOR) statements.
Either the device is enumerated and the driver already has a module
alias (e.g. PCI, USB etc.) that will get the right driver loaded
automatically.
Or the device is not enumerated and loading its driver will lead to
more or less intrusive hardware poking. Such hardware poking should be
limited to a bare minimum, so the user should really decide which
drivers should be tried and in what order. Trying them all in
arbitrary order can't do any good.
On top of that, loading that many drivers at once bloats the kernel
log. Also many drivers will stay loaded afterward, bloating the output
of "lsmod" and wasting memory. Some modules (cs5535_mfgpt which gets
loaded as a dependency) can't even be unloaded!
If defining char-major-10-130 is needed then it should happen in
user-space.

In watchdog_ping(), 'start' is called automatically when 'ping' function call
is not configured.
Softdog driver has same handling in both cases - start and ping, so 'ping' OPS
can be removed.

This is needed for determining the reason for failure when a softdog
timeout occurs.
We use softdog to watch for critical application failures and at the
minimum a snapshot of the system would help to determine the cause. In
such a scenario the application could fail but there isn't a softlockup as
such, hence the detect softlockup feature does not help.
The patch adds a module parameter soft_panic which when set to 1 causes
softdog to invoke panic instead of reboot when the softdog timer expires.
By invoking panic we execute kdump if it is configured and the vmcore
generated by kdump should provide atleast a minimal idea of the reason for
failure.

This brings the watchdog drivers into line with coding style.
This patch takes cares of the indentation as described in chapter 1.
Main changes:
* Re-structure the ioctl switch call for all drivers as follows:
switch (cmd) {
case WDIOC_GETSUPPORT:
case WDIOC_GETSTATUS:
case WDIOC_GETBOOTSTATUS:
case WDIOC_GETTEMP:
case WDIOC_SETOPTIONS:
case WDIOC_KEEPALIVE:
case WDIOC_SETTIMEOUT:
case WDIOC_GETTIMEOUT:
case WDIOC_GETTIMELEFT:
default:
}
This to make the migration from the drivers to the uniform watchdog
device driver easier in the future.
