Move the limited watchdog driver help from kernel-parameters.txt
to Documentation/watchdog/watchdog-parameters.txt and add info to it
for all watchdog drivers except the ones that have driver-specific
files already.
Correct minor comments and MODULE_PARM_DESC() text in 2 places.

Making this instance static exposes the code to SMP races, etc.

Change the wdt.c watchdog driver so that the code is the same for
both the WDT500 as the WDT501-P card. The selection of the card
is now being done via the module parameter: 'type' instead of the
config option CONFIG_WDT_501.

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.

The audit of _p usage shows various drivers assume inb_p is somehow atomic.
Of course it isn't and the delay can be split from the I/O cycle causing a
timing violation on chips that matter (eg this one)
With the proposed use of udelay() for some _p delays this will cease to be
a mostly theoretical bug (as the delay stall is unsplittable) and wants
fixing.
Lots of other drivers need fixing this way too.
