Hi, I posted a query here (https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/8/10/19), but did not get any feedback. So, thought to post patches and to seek response. I need some way to identify the driver/module for a given watchdog node say /dev/watchdog0. Documentation/watchdog/watchdog-api.txt says: identity a string identifying the watchdog driver However, all the watchdog driver does not define identity as DRV_NAME. Otherway could be to look for /sys/class/watchdog/watchdog0/device/modalias. However, many wdt devices does not set its parent and so, we do not see an entry for /sys/class/watchdog/watchdog0/device/ in sysfs. This patch set fixes parent for wdt drivers written in watchdog-core framework. Exceptions: booke, diag288, mpc8xxx, octeon, softdog and w83627hf -- They do not have any parent. Not sure, how we can identify driver for these devices.
Series makes sense, but imposes a huge burden on the maintainer. I think this is one of those changes where a single patch would make much more sense. I merged all patches into my test repository for build and runtime tests, but I would suggest to resubmit the series as a single patch.
