watchdog_register_device.
* cdev: cdev for the dynamic /dev/watchdog<id> device nodes. This
field is also populated by watchdog_register_device.
* dev: device under the watchdog class (created by watchdog_register_device).
* parent: set this to the parent device (or NULL) before calling
watchdog_register_device.
* info: a pointer to a watchdog_info structure. This structure gives some
additional information about the watchdog timer itself. (Like it's unique name)
* ops: a pointer to the list of watchdog operations that the watchdog supports.
