2015-12-27watchdog: Read device status through sysfs attributesPratyush Anand1-0/+51
This patch adds following attributes to watchdog device's sysfs interface to read its different status. * state - reads whether device is active or not * identity - reads Watchdog device's identity string. * timeout - reads current timeout. * timeleft - reads timeleft before watchdog generates a reset * bootstatus - reads status of the watchdog device at boot * status - reads watchdog device's internal status bits * nowayout - reads whether nowayout feature was set or not Testing with iTCO_wdt: # cd /sys/class/watchdog/watchdog1/ # ls bootstatus dev device identity nowayout power state subsystem timeleft timeout uevent # cat identity iTCO_wdt # cat timeout 30 # cat state inactive # echo > /dev/watchdog1 # cat timeleft 26 # cat state active # cat bootstatus 0 # cat nowayout 0 Signed-off-by: Pratyush Anand <panand@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Guenter Roeck <linux@roeck-us.net> Signed-off-by: Guenter Roeck <linux@roeck-us.net> Signed-off-by: Wim Van Sebroeck <wim@iguana.be>
