Subject: sc1200_wdt: Fix oops
From: Alan <[email protected]>
commit dace8bbfccfd9e4fcccfffcfbd82881fda3e756f upstream.
If loaded with isapnp = 0 the driver explodes. This is catching
people out now and then. What should happen in the working case is
a complete mystery and the code appears terminally confused, but we
can at least make the error path work properly.
