[PATCH v2 5/5] watchdog: Prefix WDT with ICS for clarity
From: Philipp Hahn
Date: Mon May 04 2026 - 09:53:26 EST
From: Philipp Hahn <phahn-oss@xxxxxx>
`wdt.rst` is only about the Watchdog timer from "Industrial Computer
Source" (ICS). Change the title to better express this.
Add missing SPDX license identifier `GPL-2.0-or-later` same as code to
silence `checkpatch`.
