This patch fixes the bug reported in
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11681.
"Lots of device drivers register a 'struct device_driver' with
the '.bus' member set to '&platform_bus_type'. This is wrong,
since the platform_bus functions expect the 'struct device_driver'
to be wrapped up in a 'struct platform_driver' which provides
some additional callbacks (like suspend_late, resume_early).
The effect may be that platform_suspend_late() uses bogus data
outside the device_driver struct as a pointer pointer to the
device driver's suspend_late() function or other hard to
reproduce failures."(Lothar Wassmann)

Many struct file_operations in the kernel can be "const". Marking them const
moves these to the .rodata section, which avoids false sharing with potential
dirty data. In addition it'll catch accidental writes at compile time to
these shared resources.

Driver did not compile any more. Someone moved the definition
of 'struct miscdevice miscdev' to a place near the end of the
file, after some code that was refering to this variable.

a number of small patches:
- include notifier.h include file
- re-arrange prototype functions
- remove =0 initializations
- change printk logging levels to what's used in other drivers
- /dev/watchdog is a VFS so use nonseekable_open
- Style: Instead of "if (constant op function_or_variable)"
we prefer "if (function_or_variable op constant)"
- arg is a __user pointer
- use MAX_TIMEOUT_SECONDS instead of 32 in WDIOC_SETTIMEOUT
