If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Guenter Roeck commit 2e91838bf7ffdedabdb29e091207d6531d04ef4f upstream. Coverity reports: Passing argument 152UL /* sizeof (*wdd) */ to function __devres_alloc_node and then casting the return value to struct watchdog_device ** is suspicious. Allocation size needs to be sizeof(*rcwdd), not sizeof(*wdd). Fixes: 83fbae5a148c ("watchdog: Add a device managed API for ...")
