Hi Dan,

Just a thought: Wouldn't it be more consistent if it's called iLO2+ everywhere?

would be: tristate "HP Proliant iLO2+ Hardware Watchdog Timer"

and: .identity = "HP iLO2+ HW Watchdog Timer",

dev_warn(&dev->dev,
	"This server does not have an iLO2+ ASIC.\n");

"Unable to detect the iLO2+ server memory.\n");

For the rest I'm still reviewing the code.

Kind regards,
Wim.
