Re: [PATCH] RTC: Implement pretimeout watchdog for DS1307

[Alexandre Belloni]

Hi,

The subject prefix is not correct, it should be rtc: ds1307:

Also, shouldn't that kind of software timeout which doesn't actually
depend on the hardware better be handled in the watchdog core? Then this
will benefit all the watchdog and will certainly avoid a lot of code
duplication.
