I tested the series on an i.MX27 machine and it works nicely. When the
watchdog is already running at probe time it is constantly pinged until
userspace opens /dev/watchdog. With the patch I sent earlier today the
functionallity is also given, that is the machine resets iff I stop
pinging. And when I do a stopping-close the worker looks for this in
hardware non-stoppable device.

Very nice, and also \o/ for the diffstat,
Uwe
