Subject: [PATCH] watchdog: core: assign parent with devm registration
Date: Sat, 23 May 2026 19:23:32 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260524022332.179202-1-rosenp@gmail.com> (raw)
If the user did not pass a parent in the struct watchdog_device
then use the device used for devres as parent.
This is quite intuitive and can help avoiding having to
assign parent explicitly in every driver using devres
to add the watchdog_device.
