[RFC] hwmon: f71882fg: Add watchdog API for F71808E and F71889

Looking at the F71889FG datasheet I think implementing watchdog support for that chip can be accomplished rather easily. I think it's as simple as adding the pin initialisation (multi functio... 25 Mar 2010 06:51

[watchdog] combine nmi_watchdog and softlockup
The new nmi_watchdog (which uses the perf event subsystem) is very similar in structure to the softlockup detector. Using Ingo's suggestion, I combined the two functionalities into one file, kernel/watchdog.c. Now both the nmi_watchdog (or hardlockup detector) and softlockup detector sit on top of the perf event... 12 May 2010 16:58
