Hi Guenter,

Thanks a lot for this review and all the other ones.

Grmpf. The driver name is definitely confusing but I'm afraid you're
right. Even more confusing is the existence of an SCx200_WDT driver,
which is supposed to drive the same watchdog but as a PCI device? And
that one does depend on SCx200 which in turn depends on X86_32. I don't
quite get the point of having two drivers for the same device, but I'm
probably missing something.

Anyway, let's just forget about this patch then. Sorry for the noise.
