Mark Balantzyan July 31, 2019, 3:22 a.m. UTC
This patch rewrites the pc87413_wdt driver to use the watchdog subsystem. In
doing so, it also addresses a potential race condition owing from the
swc_base_addr variable being used before being set.

The point of the original problem was that the misc device was registered before
this region was requested, which caused the race condition. That problem still
exists = the watchdog is registered, and thus may be opened, before this region
is requested.

Return value missing. Doesn't the compile complain about that ?

Hi all, Guenter,

Thank you for your email. Unfortunately, on my end, the indentation is
straight and perhaps through protocol transfer there was stray
modification.

I've made the other changes as indicated that I'll submit in a v2 patch 
shortly. Is 'v2' permissible to include in the title in this case? Not 
sure, but this will BE a modification...in that case I should have been 
v-ing my patches since.

No, the compiler did not complain about no 'return ret' as part of the 
label code block. The function does 'return 0;' at the end, by default.

Thanks + regards,
Mark

checkpatch --strict says:

total: 13 errors, 13 warnings, 4 checks, 439 lines checked

Please fix all those, including the checks, before you resubmit.

Thanks,
