Hmmmm, if I re-read this then my original message wasn't really clear... I actually wanted to say that I already included Andrew's patches and because of that I didn't add your patches also. Sorry about that. But you're right: we need to fix things as soon as possible. > Hmm, I'm a bit surprised that not all the watchdog drivers have > this issue.

Most of them don't have the driver model yet and those who have don't use the miscdev as a "parent". But this is on the roadmap as part of the conversion to the generic watchdog structure. (Hmm, I need to talk to Rudolf Marek again and continue our conversation about the generic watchdog functionsi -> will do that tomorrow).
