[char-misc-next v2 0/7] mei: create proper iAMT watchdog driver

Instead of integrating the iAMT watchdog within the mei core driver
we will create a watchdog device on the mei client bus and
create a proper watchdog driver for it.

V2:
1. The watchdog device is no longer dynamically allocated in separate structure
2. Export device internal status via debugfs
3. Address few comments from Guenter
4. Reworked de/registration

The patches should apply and compile on both watchdog-next and char-misc-next
trees/branches.
I would prefer this will go via char-misc-next as this is the tree
we work against and conflicts should be trivial if at any.

Alexander Usyskin (3):
mei: wd: drop the watchdog code from the core mei driver
watchdog: mei_wdt: register wd device only if required
watchdog: mei_wdt: re-register device on event

Tomas Winkler (4):
mei: drop nfc leftovers from the mei driver
watchdog: mei_wdt: implement MEI iAMT watchdog driver
watchdog: mei_wdt: add status debugfs entry
mei: bus: whitelist the watchdog client
