[patch V2 03/29] lockup_detector: Provide interface to stop from poweroff()

From: Thomas Gleixner
Date: Tue Sep 12 2017 - 15:53:31 EST


PARISC has a a busy looping power off routine. If the watchdog is enabled
the watchdog timer will still fire, but the thread is not running, which
causes the softlockup watchdog to trigger.

Provide a interface which allows to turn the watchdog off.
