Before reviewing the rest of your driver: can you please put your "X86 Architecture related"
driver in the X86 related parts of Kconfig and Makefile ? Also the depend on WATCHDOG is not
needed since we allready have a general dependency for all the drivers in Kconfig.

Please also note that we just shifted the watchdog drivers from drivers/char/watchdog to
drivers/watchdog -> so your driver will appear in the drivers/watchdog directory when it
will be included.

Greetings,
Wim.
