Hi Marc,

Finally a stable ADSL line again. I just finished reviewing your driver:

:-) as you pointed out this should be removed.

you should ping the watchdog if you don't stop it.

we use the unlocked_ioctl call in watchdog drivers now. So this should be:
static long wm8350_wdt_ioctl(struct file *file, unsigned int cmd,
						unsigned long arg)

Bootstatus is a mandatory ioctl according to the API. So just add:
	case WDIOC_GETBOOTSTATUS:

> +static const struct file_operations wm8350_wdt_fops = {
> +	.owner = THIS_MODULE,
> +	.llseek = no_llseek,
> +	.write = wm8350_wdt_write,
> +	.ioctl = wm8350_wdt_ioctl,

and for the unlocked_ioctl call this needs to be:
	.unlocked_ioctl = wm8350_wdt_ioctl,

For the rest: seems OK to me.

Kind regards,
Wim.
