watchdog: sama5d4_wdt: Convert to use device managed functions and other improvements

Browse source

Use device managed functions to simplify error handling, reduce
source code size, improve readability, and reduce the likelyhood of bugs.
Other improvements as listed below.

The conversion was done automatically with coccinelle using the
following semantic patches. The semantic patches and the scripts
used to generate this commit log are available at
https://github.com/groeck/coccinelle-patches

- Drop assignments to otherwise unused variables
- Drop empty remove function
- Introduce local variable 'struct device *dev' and use it instead of
  dereferencing it repeatedly
- Replace stop on remove with call to watchdog_stop_on_unregister()
- Use devm_watchdog_register_driver() to register watchdog device
