[RFC PATCH 0/9] watchdog: don't print out if registering watchdog fails

[Wolfram Sang <wsa+renesas@sang-engineering.com>]

While working with the rza-driver, I noticed that the watchdog core does
not always print out errors when registering a watchdog fails. Only most
of the time. With a simple refactoring, it will always print out. We can
remove similar printouts then from drivers. This series does exactly
that. Not sure about the core change, thus still RFC. There are two more
drivers outside the 'watchdog' dir which could benefit from this change,
but I left them out for now until I know this path is acceptable.

Looking forward to comments...
