[PATCH v2 0/8] watchdog: w83627hf: Convert to watchdog infrastructure

From: Guenter Roeck
Date: Sun Mar 10 2013 - 19:17:03 EST


Convert to watchdog infrastructure, cleanup, add support for additional
chips, and merge with W83697HF and W83697UG watchdog drivers.

Tested with W83627UHG, NCT6775, NCT6776. Additional test feedback
for other chips would be appreciated.

Original idea was to prepare the driver for use as a client to an MFD driver,
but I found that requesting memory with request_muxed_region works just as well
and has less impact. v2 includes the knowledge gained from converting the
driver to an MFD client driver, but without the actual conversion.

v2: Tested with W83627UHG
Retain timeout module parameter; use watchdog_init_timeout to set it
Eliminate some cosmetic changes
Drop spinlock.h include
Keep "initialized" message
Don't try to configure WDTO for W83627UHG and W83627EHF
Don't report the nowayout option with the 'initializing' message
Use request_muxed_region to reserve memory range only while needed
Add support for W83627S, W83627DHG-P, W83667HG, and NCT6779
