487722cf2d watchdog: Get rid of MODULE_ALIAS_MISCDEV statements
I just can't find any value in MODULE_ALIAS_MISCDEV(WATCHDOG_MINOR)
and MODULE_ALIAS_MISCDEV(TEMP_MINOR) statements.

Either the device is enumerated and the driver already has a module
alias (e.g. PCI, USB etc.) that will get the right driver loaded
automatically.

Or the device is not enumerated and loading its driver will lead to
more or less intrusive hardware poking. Such hardware poking should be
limited to a bare minimum, so the user should really decide which
drivers should be tried and in what order. Trying them all in
arbitrary order can't do any good.

On top of that, loading that many drivers at once bloats the kernel
log. Also many drivers will stay loaded afterward, bloating the output
of "lsmod" and wasting memory. Some modules (cs5535_mfgpt which gets
loaded as a dependency) can't even be unloaded!

If defining char-major-10-130 is needed then it should happen in
user-space.

nowayout is actually a boolean value.
So make it bool for all watchdog device drivers.

0c06090c94 [WATCHDOG] Coding style - Indentation - part 2
This brings the watchdog drivers into line with coding style.
This patch takes cares of the indentation as described in chapter 1.
Main changes:
* Re-structure the ioctl switch call for all drivers as follows:
	switch (cmd) {
	case WDIOC_GETSUPPORT:
	case WDIOC_GETSTATUS:
	case WDIOC_GETBOOTSTATUS:
	case WDIOC_GETTEMP:
	case WDIOC_SETOPTIONS:
	case WDIOC_KEEPALIVE:
	case WDIOC_SETTIMEOUT:
	case WDIOC_GETTIMEOUT:
	case WDIOC_GETTIMELEFT:
	default:
	}

This to make the migration from the drivers to the uniform watchdog
device driver easier in the future.
