    watchdog: Add support for creating driver specific sysfs attributes
    
    The Zodiac watchdog driver attaches additional sysfs attributes to the
    watchdog device. This has a number of problems: The watchdog device
    lifetime differs from the driver lifetime, and the device structure
    should therefore not be accessed from drivers. Also, creating sysfs
    attributes after driver registration results in a potential race condition
    if user space expects the attributes to exist but they don't exist yet.
    
    Add support for creating driver specific sysfs attributes to the watchdog
    core to solve the problems.

    watchdog: Separate and maintain variables based on variable lifetime
    
    All variables required by the watchdog core to manage a watchdog are
    currently stored in struct watchdog_device. The lifetime of those
    variables is determined by the watchdog driver. However, the lifetime
    of variables used by the watchdog core differs from the lifetime of
    struct watchdog_device. To remedy this situation, watchdog drivers
    can implement ref and unref callbacks, to be used by the watchdog
    core to lock struct watchdog_device in memory.
    
    While this solves the immediate problem, it depends on watchdog drivers
    to actually implement the ref/unref callbacks. This is error prone,
    often not implemented in the first place, or not implemented correctly.
    
    To solve the problem without requiring driver support, split the variables
    in struct watchdog_device into two data structures - one for variables
    associated with the watchdog driver, one for variables associated with
    the watchdog core. With this approach, the watchdog core can keep track
    of its variable lifetime and no longer depends on ref/unref callbacks
    in the driver. As a side effect, some of the variables originally in
    struct watchdog_driver are now private to the watchdog core and no longer
    visible in watchdog drivers.
    
    As a side effect of the changes made, an ioctl will now always fail
    with -ENODEV after a watchdog device was unregistered with the character
    device still open. Previously, it would only fail with -ENODEV in some
    situations. Also, ioctl operations are now atomic from driver perspective.
    With this change, it is now guaranteed that the driver will not unregister
    a watchdog between a timeout change and the subsequent ping.
    
    The 'ref' and 'unref' callbacks in struct watchdog_driver are no longer
    used and marked as deprecated.

    watchdog: Create watchdog device in watchdog_dev.c
    
    The watchdog character device is currently created in watchdog_dev.c,
    and the watchdog device in watchdog_core.c. This results in
    cross-dependencies, since device creation needs to know the watchdog
    character device number as well as the watchdog class, both of which
    reside in watchdog_dev.c.
    
    Create the watchdog device in watchdog_dev.c to simplify the code.
    
    Inspired by earlier patch set from Damien Riegel.

    watchdog: ts4800: add driver for TS-4800 watchdog
    
    This watchdog is instantiated in a FPGA that is memory mapped. It is
    made of only one register, called the feed register. Writing to this
    register will re-arm the watchdog for a given time (and enable it if it
    was disable). It can be disabled by writing a special value into it.
    
    It is part of a syscon block, and the watchdog register offset in this
    block varies from board to board. This offset is passed in the syscon
    property after the phandle to the syscon node.

    omap_wdt_start calls pm_runtime_get_sync so dropping a reference just

    watchdog: dw_wdt: fix signedness bug in dw_wdt_top_in_seconds()
    
    On 64bit platforms, "(1 << (16 + top)) / clk_get_rate(dw_wdt.clk)" is
    sign-extended to 64bit then converted to unsigned 64bit, finally divide
    the clk rate. If the top is the maximum TOP i.e 15, "(1 << (16 +15))"
    will be sign-extended to 0xffffffff80000000, then converted to unsigned
    0xffffffff80000000, which is a huge number, thus the final result is
    wrong.
    
    We fix this issue by giving usigned value(1U in this case) at first.
    
    Let's assume clk rate is 25MHZ,

    watchdog: Read device status through sysfs attributes
    
    This patch adds following attributes to watchdog device's sysfs interface
    to read its different status.
    
    * state - reads whether device is active or not
    * identity - reads Watchdog device's identity string.
    * timeout - reads current timeout.
    * timeleft - reads timeleft before watchdog generates a reset
    * bootstatus - reads status of the watchdog device at boot
    * status - reads watchdog device's  internal status bits
    * nowayout - reads whether nowayout feature was set or not
    
    Testing with iTCO_wdt:
     # cd /sys/class/watchdog/watchdog1/
     # ls
    bootstatus  dev  device  identity  nowayout  power  state
    subsystem  timeleft  timeout  uevent
     # cat identity
    iTCO_wdt
     # cat timeout
    30
     # cat state
    inactive
     # echo > /dev/watchdog1
     # cat timeleft
    26
     # cat state
    active
     # cat bootstatus
    0

    watchdog: Use static struct class watchdog_class in stead of pointer
    
    We need few sysfs attributes to know different status of a watchdog device.
    To do that, we need to associate .dev_groups with watchdog_class. So
    convert it from pointer to static.
    Putting this static struct in watchdog_dev.c, so that static device
    attributes defined in that file can be attached to it.

    watchdog: core: add reboot notifier support
    
    Many watchdog drivers register a reboot notifier in order to stop the
    watchdog on system reboot. Thus we can factorize this code in the
    watchdog core.
    
    For that purpose, a new notifier block is added in watchdog_device for
    internal use only, as well as a new watchdog_stop_on_reboot helper
    function.
    
    If this helper is called, watchdog core registers the related notifier
    block and will stop the watchdog when SYS_HALT or SYS_DOWN is received.
    
    Since this operation can be critical on some platforms, abort the device
    registration if the reboot notifier registration fails.

    watchdog: core: add restart handler support
    
    Many watchdog drivers implement the same code to register a restart
    handler. This patch provides a generic way to set such a function.
    
    The patch adds a new restart watchdog operation. If a restart priority
    greater than 0 is needed, the driver can call
    watchdog_set_restart_priority to set it.

-If the watchdog_device struct is dynamically allocated, just locking the module
-is not enough and a driver also needs to define the ref and unref operations to
-ensure the structure holding the watchdog_device does not go away.
-
-The simplest (and usually sufficient) implementation of this is to:
-1) Add a kref struct to the same structure which is holding the watchdog_device
-2) Define a release callback for the kref which frees the struct holding both
-3) Call kref_init on this kref *before* calling watchdog_register_device()
-4) Define a ref operation calling kref_get on this kref
-5) Define a unref operation calling kref_put on this kref
-6) When it is time to cleanup:
- * Do not kfree() the struct holding both, the last kref_put will do this!
- * *After* calling watchdog_unregister_device() call kref_put on the kref

-* ref: the operation that calls kref_get on the kref of a dynamically

-* unref: the operation that calls kref_put on the kref of a dynamically

+* restart: this routine restarts the machine. It returns 0 on success or a

 * ioctl: if this routine is present then it will be called first before we do
   our own internal ioctl call handling. This routine should return -ENOIOCTLCMD

 The status bits should (preferably) be set with the set_bit and clear_bit alike
 bit-operations. The status bits that are defined are:
 * WDOG_ACTIVE: this status bit indicates whether or not a watchdog timer device
   is active or not. When the watchdog is active after booting, then you should
   set this status bit (Note: when you register the watchdog timer device with
   this bit set, then opening /dev/watchdog will skip the start operation)
-* WDOG_DEV_OPEN: this status bit shows whether or not the watchdog device
-  was opened via /dev/watchdog.
-  (This bit should only be used by the WatchDog Timer Driver Core).
-* WDOG_ALLOW_RELEASE: this bit stores whether or not the magic close character
-  has been sent (so that we can support the magic close feature).
-  (This bit should only be used by the WatchDog Timer Driver Core).
 * WDOG_NO_WAY_OUT: this bit stores the nowayout setting for the watchdog.
   If this bit is set then the watchdog timer will not be able to stop.
-* WDOG_UNREGISTERED: this bit gets set by the WatchDog Timer Driver Core
