| |
Hi Linus,
I'm planning to remove the i8xx_tco watchdog driver since we now have the iTCO_wdt driver that has a broader scope.
Therefor I created a small patch (that adds the driver to the feature-removal-schedule list and defaults CONFIG_I8XX_TCO to n). There is no impact at any of the drivers.
So can you please pull from 'master' branch of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/wim/linux-2.6-watchdog.git or if master.kernel.org hasn't synced up yet: master.kernel.org:/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/wim/linux-2.6-watchdog.git
This will update the following files:
Documentation/feature-removal-schedule.txt | 8 ++++++++ drivers/char/watchdog/Kconfig | 1 + 2 files changed, 9 insertions(+)

[WATCHDOG] i8xx TCO driver - mark for removal Mark the i8xx TCO driver for removal. Signed-off-by: Wim Van Sebroeck <wim@iguana.be>
The Changes can also be looked at on: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/wim/linux-2.6-watchdog.git;a=summary
For completeness, I added the overal diff below.
Greetings, Wim.
