They create the platform data struct and use it in lpc_ich and iTCO_wdt. The Kconfig change shouldn't have snuck into this patch though, that's wrong, sorry. > Why do they all have to be in a single patch? I'll happily split them into more patches if you'd prefer. Maybe one that introduces the platform data structure and then a separate one that uses it in iTCO_wdt and lpc_ich? Technically we could also split the change between iTCO_wdt and lpc_ich, but then we'd be passing in an 'lpc_ich_info' and pulling out a 'iTCO_wdt_platform_data' and that just seems crazy. -- Matt Fleming, Intel Open Source Technology Center -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-watchdog" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
