3fdee8db01 [WATCHDOG] w83697hf/hg WDT driver - patch 16
This is patch 16 in the series of patches that converts
Marcus Junker's w83697hf watchdog driver to Samuel Tardieau's
w83697hf/hg watchdog driver.

This patch contains following changes:
 - Add copyright notice for Samuel Tardieu also.

This is the last patch in this series. 

The original description for Samuel's driver was:
driver for the Winbond W83697HF/W83697HG watchdog timer

The Winbond SuperIO W83697HF/HG includes a watchdog that can count from
1 to 255 seconds (or minutes). This drivers allows the seconds mode to
be used. It exposes a standard /dev/watchdog interface. This chip is
currently being used on some motherboards designed by VIA.

By default, the module looks for a chip at I/O port 0x2e. The chip can
be configured to be at 0x4e on some motherboards, the address can be
chosen using the wdt_io module parameter. Using 0 will try to autodetect
the address.

b7b9868ba6 [WATCHDOG] w83697hf/hg WDT driver - patch 15
This is patch 15 in the series of patches that converts
Marcus Junker's w83697hf watchdog driver to Samuel Tardieau's
w83697hf/hg watchdog driver.

This patch contains following changes:
 - Clean-up initialization code - part 2: 
   * the line reading "set second mode & disable keyboard ..."
     is plain wrong, the register being manipulated (CRF4) is
     the counter itself, not the control byte (CRF3) -- looks
     like it has been copied from another driver.
   * I think garbage is being written in CRF3 (the control word)
     as the timeout value is being stored in this register (such
     as 60 for 60 seconds).
   * We only want to set pin 119 to WDTO# mode and leave the rest
     of CR29 like it is.
   * Set count mode to seconds and not minutes.

then the open method should not automatically allow
the setting of allow_close to CLOSE_STATE_ALLOW.

The setting of allow_close nullifies the use of
the magic close via the write path. It means that
in the default state, the watchdog will shut-down
even if the magic close has not been issued.

62322d2554 [PATCH] make more file_operation structs static
Mark the static struct file_operations in drivers/char as const.  Making
them const prevents accidental bugs, and moves them to the .rodata section
so that they no longer do any false sharing; in addition with the proper
debug option they are then protected against corruption..
