Subject: [PATCH v2] Enhanced support for MPC8xx/8xxx watchdog
This patch modifies the behaviour of the MPC8xx/8xxx watchdog. On the MPC8xx,
at 133Mhz, the maximum timeout of the watchdog timer is 1s, which means it must
be pinged twice a second. This is not in line with the Linux watchdog concept
which is based on a default watchdog timeout around 60s.
This patch introduces an intermediate layer between the CPU and the userspace.
The kernel pings the watchdog at the required frequency at the condition that
userspace tools refresh it regularly.
Existing parameter 'timeout' is renamed 'hw_time'.
The new parameter 'timeout' allows to set up the userspace timeout.
The driver also implements the WDIOC_SETTIMEOUT ioctl.
