commit df9c692b5618914d4ce7c9e3e011c5683fc16226 upstream.

Commit 0254e953537c ("watchdog: Drop pointer to watchdog device from struct watchdog_device") removed the dev pointer from struct watchdog_device, but this driver was still assigning it, leading to a compilation error:

drivers/watchdog/rt2880_wdt.c: In function ‘rt288x_wdt_probe’:
drivers/watchdog/rt2880_wdt.c:161:16: error: ‘struct watchdog_device’ has no member named ‘dev’

  rt288x_wdt_dev.dev = &pdev->dev;
                ^

scripts/Makefile.build:289: recipe for target
'drivers/watchdog/rt2880_wdt.o' failed

Fix this by removing the assignment.
