If the driver is built as a module, autoload won't work because the module
alias information is not filled. So user-space can't match the registered
device with the corresponding module.
Export the module alias information using the MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE() macro.
Before this patch:
$ modinfo drivers/watchdog/bcm7038_wdt.ko | grep alias

After this patch:
$ modinfo drivers/watchdog/bcm7038_wdt.ko | grep alias
alias: of:N*T*Cbrcm,bcm7038-wdtC*

Check for watchdog_ops structures that are only stored in the ops field of
a watchdog_device structure. This field is declared const, so watchdog_ops
structures that have this property can be declared as const also.
The semantic patch that makes this change is as follows:
