[PATCH v3] watchdog: convert the Kconfig dependency on OF_GPIO to OF

[PATCH v3] watchdog: convert the Kconfig dependency on OF_GPIO to OF

[Bartosz Golaszewski]

OF_GPIO is selected automatically on all OF systems. Any symbols it
controls also provide stubs so there's really no reason to select it
explicitly. We could simply remove the dependency but in order to avoid
a new symbol popping up for everyone in make config - just convert it to
requiring CONFIG_OF.

Changes in v3:
- Send the watchdog patch separately so that it can be picked up for v7.2
- Link to v2: https://patch.msgid.link/20260316-gpio-of-kconfig-v2-0-de2f4b00a0e4@oss.qualcomm.com

Changes in v2:
- Make gpio-watchdog depend on OF && GPIOLIB
- Drop picked up patches
- Link to v1: https://patch.msgid.link/20260304-gpio-of-kconfig-v1-0-d597916e79e7@oss.qualcomm.com

Applied to my watchdog-next branch after resolving conflicts.
Dependencis are now
	depends on GPIOLIB && (ACPI || OF)

Thanks,
Guenter
