Returning early in a platform driver's remove callback is wrong. In this case the watchdog device is never removed although it's parent is gone which likely can trigger a use-after-free in sysfs. Also the two used clocks will never be disabled. Instead only warn if s3c2410wdt_enable() fails and cleanup. Note that returning 0 is the right thing to do then to suppress another warning message by the driver core.
