The WinSystems EBC-C384 watchdog timer driver supports two module
parameters: timeout and nowayout. These parameters should be documented
in the watchdog-parameters.txt file.

Not all hardware watchdogs can be stopped. The driver for
such watchdogs would typically only set the WATCHDOG_HW_RUNNING
flag in its stop function. Make the stop function optional and set
WATCHDOG_HW_RUNNING in the watchdog core if it is not provided.

The WDOG_HW_RUNNING flag is expected to be set by watchdog drivers if
the hardware watchdog is running. If the flag is set, the watchdog
subsystem will ping the watchdog even if the watchdog device is closed.
The watchdog driver stop function is now optional and may be omitted
if the watchdog can not be stopped. If stopping the watchdog is not
possible but the driver implements a stop function, it is responsible
to set the WDOG_HW_RUNNING flag in its stop function.

Introduce an optional hardware maximum heartbeat in the watchdog core.
The hardware maximum heartbeat can be lower than the maximum timeout.
Drivers can set the maximum hardware heartbeat value in the watchdog data
structure. If the configured timeout exceeds the maximum hardware heartbeat,
the watchdog core enables a timer function to assist sending keepalive
requests to the watchdog driver.

For some watchdogs, the watchdog driver handles timeout changes without
explicitly setting any registers. In this situation, the watchdog driver
might only set the 'timeout' variable but do nothing else.
This can as well be handled by the infrastructure, so make the set_timeout
callback optional. If WDIOF_SETTIMEOUT is configured but the .set_timeout
callback is not available, update the timeout variable in the
infrastructure code.

The Zodiac watchdog driver attaches additional sysfs attributes to the
watchdog device. This has a number of problems: The watchdog device
lifetime differs from the driver lifetime, and the device structure
should therefore not be accessed from drivers. Also, creating sysfs
attributes after driver registration results in a potential race condition
if user space expects the attributes to exist but they don't exist yet.
Add support for creating driver specific sysfs attributes to the watchdog
core to solve the problems.

All variables required by the watchdog core to manage a watchdog are
currently stored in struct watchdog_device. The lifetime of those
variables is determined by the watchdog driver. However, the lifetime
of variables used by the watchdog core differs from the lifetime of
struct watchdog_device. To remedy this situation, watchdog drivers
can implement ref and unref callbacks, to be used by the watchdog
core to lock struct watchdog_device in memory.
While this solves the immediate problem, it depends on watchdog drivers
to actually implement the ref/unref callbacks. This is error prone,
often not implemented in the first place, or not implemented correctly.
To solve the problem without requiring driver support, split the variables
in struct watchdog_device into two data structures - one for variables
associated with the watchdog driver, one for variables associated with
the watchdog core. With this approach, the watchdog core can keep track
of its variable lifetime and no longer depends on ref/unref callbacks
in the driver. As a side effect, some of the variables originally in
struct watchdog_driver are now private to the watchdog core and no longer
visible in watchdog drivers.
As a side effect of the changes made, an ioctl will now always fail
with -ENODEV after a watchdog device was unregistered with the character
device still open. Previously, it would only fail with -ENODEV in some
situations. Also, ioctl operations are now atomic from driver perspective.
With this change, it is now guaranteed that the driver will not unregister
a watchdog between a timeout change and the subsequent ping.
The 'ref' and 'unref' callbacks in struct watchdog_driver are no longer
used and marked as deprecated.

Many watchdog drivers register a reboot notifier in order to stop the
watchdog on system reboot. Thus we can factorize this code in the
watchdog core.
For that purpose, a new notifier block is added in watchdog_device for
internal use only, as well as a new watchdog_stop_on_reboot helper
function.
If this helper is called, watchdog core registers the related notifier
block and will stop the watchdog when SYS_HALT or SYS_DOWN is received.
Since this operation can be critical on some platforms, abort the device
registration if the reboot notifier registration fails.

Many watchdog drivers implement the same code to register a restart
handler. This patch provides a generic way to set such a function.
The patch adds a new restart watchdog operation. If a restart priority
greater than 0 is needed, the driver can call
watchdog_set_restart_priority to set it.

The watchdog test program is much more useful if it can configure the
timeout value and ping rate. This will allow you to test actual timeouts.
Adds the -t parameter to set the timeout value (in seconds), and -p to set
the ping rate (number of seconds between pings).

On some hardware platforms, the it87_wdt watchdog resets the machine
despite the watchdog daemon running and writing to /dev/watchdog.
This is due to Consumer IR buffer underrun interrupts being used as
triggers to reset the timer. On some buggy hardware implementations
such as the iEi AFL-12A-N270 single-board computer, this method does
not work.
However, resetting the timer by writing its original timeout value in
its configuration register over and over again suppresses the unwanted
reboots.
Add a module option (nocir), 0 by default in order not to break existing
setups. Setting it to 1 enables the workaround.
Fixes bug #42801 <https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=42801>.
Tested primarily on Linux 3.5.7, applies cleanly on Linux 3.13.5.

Interrupt request doesn't use the right API: The TWD watchdog uses a per-cpu
interrupt (usually interrupt #30), and the GIC configuration should flag it as
such. With this setup, request_irq() should fail, and the right API is
request_percpu_irq(), together with enable_percpu_irq()/disable_percpu_irq().
Nothing ensures the userspace ioctl() will end-up kicking the watchdog on the
right CPU.
There are no users of this driver since a long time and it makes more sense to
get rid of it as nobody is looking to fix it.
In case somebody wakes up after this has been removed and needs it, please
revert this driver and pick these updates (These were never pushed to mainline):
