When "tmr_atboot" module param is set, the watchdog is started in
driver's probe. In that case, also set WDOG_HW_RUNNING bit to let
watchdog core driver know it's running. This way wathcdog core can kick
the watchdog for us (if CONFIG_WATCHDOG_HANDLE_BOOT_ENABLED option is
enabled), until user space takes control.

This doesn't cover the case where the watchdog is already enabled by the BIOS.
In that case, WDOG_HW_RUNNING won't be set, and the watchdog will time out
if the userspace handler is not loaded fast enough. The code should consistently
set WDOG_HW_RUNNING if the watchdog is running.

This does not explain why you move the code around. I guess you miss
here information that we should start the watchdog before registering
it? If so please explain why.

As I understand, in the case when bootloader started the watchdog, the
driver just stops it. You can see it in the code you replied to.

    } else if (!tmr_atboot) {
            s3c2410wdt_stop(&wdt->wdt_device);

In other words, having "tmr_atboot" module param makes it irrelevant
whether bootloader enabled WDT or no.

Sure, but I am concerned about "if (tmr_atboot && started)", which doesn't
set WDOG_HW_RUNNING with your current code, and I was looking for something
like

	if (tmr_atboot) {
		if (!started) {
			dev_info(dev, "starting watchdog timer\n");
			s3c2410wdt_start(&wdt->wdt_device);
		}
		set_bit(WDOG_HW_RUNNING, &wdt->wdt_device.status);
	} else {
		s3c2410wdt_stop(&wdt->wdt_device);
	}

Wow, I really overlooked that case. Nice catch! Not having '} else {'
section is vicious...

Though if started != 0, it means s3c2410wdt_set_heartbeat() failed to
set wdd->timeout, and without that the watchdog core won't be able to
calculate correctly ping interval in watchdog_next_keepalive(), and
WDOG_HW_RUNNING bit won't do much good, right? So I'll probably just
call s3c2410wdt_stop() in that case, to be on the safe side.

Also this 'started' variable name is misleading, I'll convert it to
"bool timeout_ok" while at it.

This driver is a mess :-(. "started" true means that the driver doesn't
work as currently written because there is no known valid timeout. In
reality, s3c2410wdt_set_heartbeat() should in that case select a valid
timeout and set it. On top of that, a timeout value out of range should
never be passed to it in the first place. The check for "if (timeout < 1)"
is, in that context, pointless. The range check should happen in
s3c2410wdt_max_timeout(). If that range check is invalid, ie if
s3c2410wdt_set_heartbeat() fails even though the timeout is in the range
of 1 ..s3c2410wdt_max_timeout(), s3c2410wdt_max_timeout() is buggy.

The simplest fix (kludge/hack) might be to fail driver installation if
s3c2410wdt_set_heartbeat() fails.

Thanks for suggesting that. I'll send that change along in v2.
