Subject: [PATCH v2] watchdog: add nowayout helpers to Watchdog Timer Driver
	Kernel API

Hi All,

The patch like it is in the linux-next branch of the watchdog tree since a couple of minutes.

Kind regards,
Wim.

    watchdog: add nowayout helpers to Watchdog Timer Driver Kernel API
    
    Add two nowayout helpers for the Watchdog Timer Driver Kernel API.
    And apply this to the already converted drivers.
    Note: s3c2410_wdt lost the nowayout feature during the conversion.

 Note: The WatchDog Timer Driver Core supports the magic close feature and
 the nowayout feature. To use the magic close feature you must set the
 WDIOF_MAGICCLOSE bit in the options field of the watchdog's info structure.
