Subject: [GIT PULL REQUEST] watchdog - v3.5-rc4 Fixes

Hi Linus,

Please pull from 'master' branch of
	git://www.linux-watchdog.org/linux-watchdog.git

It will fix:
* the WDIOC_GETSTATUS return value
* the unregister of all NMI events on exit
* the loading of the iTCO_wdt driver after the conversion to the lpc_ich mfd model.

This will update the following files:

 hpwdt.c        |    4 +++-
 iTCO_wdt.c     |    1 +
 watchdog_dev.c |    2 +-

    watchdog: core: fix WDIOC_GETSTATUS return value
    
    In commit 7a87982420e5e126bfefeb42232d1fd92052794e we added
    a wrapper for the WDIOC_GETSTATUS ioctl call. The code results
    however in a different behaviour: it returns an error if the
    driver doesn't support the status operation. This is not
    according to the API that says that when we don't support
    the status operation, that we just should return a 0 value.
    Only when the device isn't there anymore, we should return an
    error.

    watchdog: hpwdt: Unregister NMI events on exit.
    
    This patch is to unregister for NMI events upon exit. Also we are now
    making the default setting for allow_kdump enabled.

    watchdog: iTCO_wdt: add platform driver module alias
    
    The recent conversion of iTCO_wdt resulted in the driver no longer
    getting loaded automatically, since it no longer has a
    MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE() included. As the lpc_ich driver now creates a
    platform device, auto-loading can easily be done by having a respective
    module alias in place.
