Hi Jean (and all), Here is a new version of the fschmd watchdog patch, intended for 2.6.29, learning from my just too late experience with my 2.6.28 patches I'm trying to get this one queued in plenty og time for 2.6.29, Jean can you re-review it please. All issues from the review of the previous version have either been commented upon why I didn't fix them (see reply to the review) or have been fixed. In addition I've added reference counting for the data-structure, as it can still be used by the watchdog driver after the i2c-client has been removed (when some process still has /dev/watchdogX open) I've split this into 2 patches, 1 with some small cleanups and 1 with the actual new watchdog code. Regards, Hans
