Hi Guenter,

The kernel core now supports a restart handler call chain for system
restart functions.

With this change, the arm_pm_restart callback is now optional, so check
if it is set before calling it. Only call the kernel restart handler
if arm_pm_restart is not set.

v6: No change.
v5: Renamed restart function to do_kernel_restart
v4: No change.
v3: Use wrapper function to execute notifier call chain.
v2: Only call notifier call chain if arm_pm_restart is not set.
     Do not include linux/watchdog.h.

shouldn't you also get rid of

	void (*arm_pm_restart)(enum reboot_mode reboot_mode, const char *cmd) = null_restart;

Yes. Looks like I'll need another revision.

Even worse, the current upstream code is somewhat broken and doesn't really
like the following instructions.
	drivers/watchdog/moxart_wdt.c:  arm_pm_restart = NULL;
	drivers/watchdog/sunxi_wdt.c:   arm_pm_restart = NULL;

Fortunately that code is only executed if those drivers are built as modules
and unloaded.

Guenter

like a previous attempt at unifying the restart handling [0] did.

Because when testing the current series on my Rockchip boards, there was
always an arm_pm_restart defined ... namely the null_restart mentioned above.
So do_kernel_restart is never reached until I disable the null_restart.
