Hi, Dmitry,

Just send the v4 and please feel free to prompt me a message 
if there is anything wrong.

Remove the fw_id checking redundant codes in this version 
since it has no meaning. I just want to make sure that values are all correct 
originally.

Best Regard,
Hn.chen

What I meant is as far as I understand dev_wdt87xx->sys_param.fw_id is what 
we've read from the controller when we probed the device. What is the point in 
trying to re-read it with wdt87xx_get_sysparam()? Do we expect it to somehow 
change?

No, you do not have to. I just wanted to make sure we are not duplicating 
something that already exists.

I see.
