If you look at the code then you have:
static struct resource *wdt_mem;
static struct resource *wdt_irq;
and in the probe function you have:
res = platform_get_resource(pdev, IORESOURCE_MEM, 0);
...
wdt_mem = request_mem_region(res->start, size, pdev->name);
...
wdt_irq = platform_get_resource(pdev, IORESOURCE_IRQ, 0);
So doing Julia's:
wdt_mem = platform_get_resource(pdev, IORESOURCE_MEM, 0);
...
if (!request_mem_region(wdt_mem->start, size, pdev->name)) {
...
wdt_irq = platform_get_resource(pdev, IORESOURCE_IRQ, 0)
seems the best solution to me (since you then have both resources being polulated via platform_get_resource(pdev,... ).
Kind regards,
Wim.
