watchdog driver for embedded systems with a supervisor watchdog (MAX823 or so)
connected to a gpio. This is the platform_driver and needs platform_data for
defining the gpio pin and the watchdog timeout.

Hi!
Changes form take1:
* corrected includes
* fixed default ioctl to respond -ENOTTY
* fixed CONFIG_PM
* other small changes
* simplified banner display (simpler)
This problem will probably go away when the watchdog-core will be merged
and the memory gain is very small.
* changed from __init to __devinit
More robust and flexible
Thanks for all comments!
If you have already read take1, you can safely go to the patch.
If you've got a max823, 824 or any cpu supervisor like this connected to your
cpu by a gpio pin, you can use this watchdog driver.
Simply add this to your board specific setup file:
#include <linux/gpio_wdt.h>
static struct gpio_wdt_pdata my_wdt = {
/* WDI input connected to this gpio */
.pin = AT91_PIN_PD27,
/* The *min* timeout */
.timeout_ms = 1140
};
static struct platform_device my_watchdog_device =
{
.name = "gpio_wdt",
.id = 0,
.dev = {
.platform_data = &my_wdt,
}
};
then
platform_device_register(&my_watchdog_device);
This patch is against 2.6.24-rc7-git7
Comments are welcome
Regards
Marc

+ * This is a driver for the MAXIM MAX823 (and similar watchdog chips) connected
+ * on a generic gpio line.
+ *
+ * Principle of operation:
+ *
+ * When the WDI input is not driven (or in high impedance state), the
+ * watchdog is disabled. This mode of operations supposes that the gpio line
+ * can be put in high-impedance state (input) and is not driving too much
+ * current from the WDI pin.
+ *
+ * When the WDI input is driven, it must be toggled before the timeout,
+ * otherwise a reset is generated.
+ *
+ * Other supported chips:
+ * MAXIM: MAX824, ...
