It'd be good to use a consistent structure name:

static const struct watchdog_info ident = {
	etc...
}

$ grep -Poh "struct\s*watchdog_info\s*\w+" *.[ch] | sort | uniq -c | sort -rn
     65 struct watchdog_info ident
      8 struct watchdog_info __user
      4 struct watchdog_info info
      2 struct watchdog_info sh_wdt_info
      2 struct watchdog_info bfin_wdt_info
      2 struct watchdog_info at91_wdt_info
      1 struct watchdog_info zf_info
      1 struct watchdog_info wdinfo
      1 struct watchdog_info twl4030_wd_ident
      1 struct watchdog_info s3c2410_wdt_ident
      1 struct watchdog_info nuc900_wdt_info
      1 struct watchdog_info ks8695_wdt_info
      1 struct watchdog_info bcm47xx_wdt_info
      1 struct watchdog_info at32_wdt_info
      1 struct watchdog_info adx_wdt_info

firmware_version doesn't have to be initialized to 0.

It might be good to standardize .identity to include
either "WDT" or "watchdog" or exclude both of those.

Maybe a standard #define WATCHDOG_NAME <foo>

.identity = WATCHGOD_NAME

Maybe a DECLARE_WATCHDOG_IDENT() macro?
