[PATCH v5 0/7] watchdog: f71808e_wdt: migrate to new kernel API

From: Ahmad Fatoum
Date: Mon Aug 09 2021 - 12:20:59 EST


This series migrates the driver to the new kernel watchdog API and
then to the driver model.

I tested it on a f81866.

v4 -> v5:
- Collect Guenter's Reviewed-by's
- remove superfluous max_timeout global in existing code (Guenter)
- constify static array in existing code (Guenter)
- fix wrong handling of start_withtimeout (Guenter)
- add local variable dev = &pdev->dev

v3 -> v4:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-watchdog/cover.c711be1db54f4e07c0153266dd1a831e92e3d49d.1626948810.git-series.a.fatoum@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx/
- Prepend fix for wrong timeout report (Guenter)
- Remove WDOG_HW_RUNNING setting in start as the watchdog can
be stopped (Guenter)
- Dynamically allocate watchdog driver data (Guenter)

v3 -> RESEND:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-watchdog/cover.dedd9f1159389b0a438076ef5e5a46aded186463.1612457906.git-series.a.fatoum@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx/#t
Didn't generate any feedback over 2 months. Resending for exposure.

v2 -> v3:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-watchdog/20201020062112.6762-1-a.fatoum@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx/
- factored out identifier renaming again for easier review
- reordered commits
- removed refactoring that can go in later. Focusing now on kernel watchdog
API and platform device/driver migration
- removed platform_device_id and changed code to match by name

v1 -> v2:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-watchdog/20200611191750.28096-1-a.fatoum@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx/
- reworked to platform device/driver pair (Guenter)
- squashed identifier renaming into the patches that touch
the respective lines anyway
- fixed checkpatch.pl nitpicks (Guenter)
- fixed locally used variable declared without static (0-day)
- fixed unneded line break due to old line limit (Guenter)
- renamed struct fintek_wdog_data to struct fintek_wdt
