Hi Nat, > 01 - Changes to it87 watchdog driver to use "request_muxed_region" > Serialize access to the hardware by using "request_muxed_region" macro defined > by Alan Cox. Call to this macro will hold off the requestor if the resource is > currently busy. > > The use of the above macro makes it possible to get rid of > spinlocks in it8712f_wdt.c and it87_wdt.c watchdog drivers. > This also greatly simplifies the implementation of it87_wdt.c driver. > > "superio_enter" will return an error if call to "request_muxed_region" fails. > Rest of the code change is to ripple an error return from superio_enter to > the top level. > > Signed-off-by: Nat Gurumoorthy <natg@xxxxxxxxxx> Added to linux-2.6-watchdog-next.
