2015-06-29watchdog: watchdog_core: Add watchdog registration deferral mechanismJean-Baptiste Theou1-18/+100
Currently, watchdog subsystem require the misc subsystem to register a watchdog. This may not be the case in case of an early registration of a watchdog, which can be required when the watchdog cannot be disabled. This patch introduces a deferral mechanism to remove this requirement.

2014-01-28watchdog: core: Make dt "timeout-sec" property work on drivers w/out min/maxDoug Anderson1-2/+2
It is valid for a watchdog driver to have 0 for a "min" and "max" timeout if the driver doesn't need the core to enforce the concepts of min and max. The s3c2410_wdt driver is one such driver. Specifically it can be hard for that driver to come up with a static "max" on all platforms without a lot more information since the input clock on S3C2410 and S3C2440 can change with DVFS. As written, watchdog_init_timeout() will not ever read "timeout-sec" on these drivers since watchdog_timeout_invalid() will _never_ return true. Change to not consider a timeout_parm of 0 as valid even if min/max aren't specified by the driver. Also handle the case when there is no min/max and no "timeout-sec" property.

2013-03-01watchdog: core: dt: add support for the timeout-sec dt propertyFabio Porcedda1-9/+57
Add support for watchdog drivers to initialize/set the timeout field of the watchdog_device structure. The timeout field is initialised either with the module timeout parameter value (if valid) or with the timeout-sec dt property (if valid). If both are invalid the initial value is unchanged.

2012-05-30watchdog: Add Locking supportHans de Goede1-0/+1
This patch fixes some potential multithreading issues, despite only allowing one process to open the /dev/watchdog device, we can still get called multiple times at the same time, since a program could be using thread, or could share the fd after a fork. This causes 2 potential problems: 1) watchdog_start / open do an unlocked test_n_set / test_n_clear, if these 2 race, the watchdog could be stopped while the active bit indicates it is running or visa versa. 2) Most watchdog_dev drivers probably assume that only one watchdog-op will get called at a time, this is not necessary true atm.

2011-07-28watchdog: WatchDog Timer Driver Core - Add minimum and max timeoutWim Van Sebroeck1-0/+10
Add min_timeout (minimum timeout) and max_timeout values so that the framework can check if the new timeout value is between the minimum and maximum timeout values. If both values are 0, then the framework will leave the check for the watchdog device driver itself.

2011-07-28watchdog: WatchDog Timer Driver Core - Add basic frameworkWim Van Sebroeck1-0/+101
The WatchDog Timer Driver Core is a framework that contains the common code for all watchdog-driver's. It also introduces a watchdog device structure and the operations that go with it. This is the introduction of this framework. This part supports the minimal watchdog userspace API (or with other words: the functionality to use /dev/watchdog's open, release and write functionality as defined in the simplest watchdog API). Extra functionality will follow in the next set of patches.
