Instead of integrating the iAMT watchdog within the mei core driver we will create a watchdog device on the mei client bus and create a proper watchdog driver for it. V2: 1. The watchdog device is no longer dynamically allocated in separate structure 2. Export device internal status via debugfs 3. Address few comments from Guenter 4. Reworked de/registration The patches should apply and compile on both watchdog-next and char-misc-next trees/branches. I would prefer this will go via char-misc-next as this is the tree we work against and conflicts should be trivial if at any.
