Subject: Re: [PATCH] ARM: exynos_defconfig: Make S3C2410_WATCHDOG as loadable

First of all: why?

Secondly: even as a module driver could be loaded automatically to match
enabled device (it has MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE). In the same time loading it
does not hurt - watchdog should be inactive:

s3c2410-wdt 10060000.watchdog: watchdog inactive, reset disabled, irq
disabled

Best regards,
Krzysztof
