[PATCH] add watchdog driver IT8716 IT8726 IT8712J/K

From: Oliver Schuster
Date: Wed Mar 05 2008 - 11:45:48 EST


Hi,
thank you for your recommendations and corrections. I've considered all and
changed the code.
But first: Add support for it8718, which made the driver slightly more complex.
Now the driver supports it8716, it8718, it8726, it8712-j and it8712-k

You are right, changed.
About the spinlock, i use it primary to ensure that at the same time only one
task can have access to the superio chip configuration register.

>The driver ..., but it uses this open-coded test when reading bits.

test_bit() is now used.

>Is this comment about `buf' true?

Comment about wdt_write is changed.

I prefer "echo V>/dev/watchdog" (in the case that nowayout is NOT set) to stop
the watchdog. But any write which contain the magic can stop the watchdog on
next close of the device.
This code originates from softdog.c, now slightly changed.

Most of comments are from the code, that i used as template. These commentaries
seems to be kerneldoc, but aren't. I changed this and add all needful.

To extract the kerneldoc, i like this colorful way:
scripts/kernel-doc -html ... | lynx -stdin

The driver hwmon/it87.c use the same way to detect the ITE superio chip by
poking at IO ports. It dependence on HAS_IOMEM, but i decided to be more
strictly and use X86, because the low pin count interface is created for this
architecture and the IO base addresses used by these chips are X86 specific.

Regards,
Oliver

+ This is the driver for the hardware watchdog on the ITE IT8716,
