Subject: [2.4] (resent) Watchdog wdt83627 (Winbond W83627HF/F/HG/G) driver,
 2.6 backport

(resent due to a combination of mailer stupidity and my own
I had to mangle Padraig's name to make it stop encoding as
Quoted-Printable. hope this is palatable. sorry for the resends)

Hello,

Tested and working on Kontron JREX-PM.
fairly straightforward backport of w83627hf_wdt.c from 2.6.20.1

Changes from 2.6 version
Default timeout set to 120 seconds
Nonstandard read only proc interface (/proc/watchdog)
Always reset timer on driver load
Changed timeout limit to 255
Ignores failure to acquire IO port

Caveats:
Ignores failure to acquire IO port since it is always taken, there's
probably a better way around that.
Releases IO port regardless of having acquired it.
