Well, that element is used in several new container_of() instances.
retu_wdt_miscdev is needlessly long and just increases the line-length
pain on the container_of() lines.
The retu_wdt prefix is useless, because it's an element of the retu_wdt
data structure.

Is that really required? I mean, it's obvious what the mutex is used
for and what it is protecting (the whole struct).

Ok, it doesn't change the object code either way.
