Okay, I think I get what you're saying. So I'll drop this patch. The tegra WDT driver will still match against nvidia,tegra30-timer, and device trees for SoCs that expect to use this WDT driver will have to have nvidia,tegra30-timer. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-tegra" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
