[PATCH] kernel/watchdog: change prototype of watchdog_nmi_enable()

From: Pingfan Liu
Date: Mon Aug 23 2021 - 23:14:55 EST


The only caller does not handle the return value of
watchdog_nmi_enable(). If there is an error, it seems to be reported by
arch specific code.

Hence changing watchdog_nmi_enable() return value from int to void.
