[PATCH 1/2] watchdog: rename watchdog_suspend() and watchdog_resume()
From: Ulrich Obergfell
Date: Fri Aug 07 2015 - 05:55:06 EST
Rename watchdog_suspend() to lockup_detector_suspend() and
watchdog_resume() to lockup_detector_resume() to avoid
confusion with the watchdog subsystem and to be consistent
with the existing name lockup_detector_init().
Also provide comment blocks to explain the watchdog_running
and watchdog_suspended variables and their relationship.
