Also (just in case someone started converting drivers):

* some error-codes changed
* .name has been removed from watchdog_device in favor of watchdog_info->identity

I already started converting a few drivers and will post the patches as RFC
tomorrow. In general, converting went quite well and despite a few comments
(see later mails), I think this could go into 3.1, so that converted drivers
can go into 3.2 together with (probably) a few updates to the framework. There
is potential for a bit more consolidation, yet I think the basic stuff could
go in now.

Thanks to Wim and Alan for their work and CELF/LF for supporting the final
steps :)

Wolfram
