The patch must be based on an old kernel; the driver was enhanced
about a year ago to add support for a different chip. That change is
not included in your patch, causing it to fail to apply.

Also, your patch does not follow the normal patch format, and thus
fails to apply when using "git am", which complains that the
to-be-patched file does not exist.

Please make sure that the patch applies cleeanly to the latest
upstream kernel.

I've just followed guide in kernel doc to generate patch using 'diff -up'. Please find a new one atop of mainline kernel:

diff --git a/drivers/watchdog/nv_tco.c b/drivers/watchdog/nv_tco.c
--- a/drivers/watchdog/nv_tco.c
+++ b/drivers/watchdog/nv_tco.c

That is better. Notice the difference: The file names start with "a/" and "b/".
Your previous patch started with "drivers/", and the file names differed.
In that situation, git doesn't know how to apply the patch.

Can you send it as a clean patch, one that can be applied without editing ?

Thanks,
Guenter
