[WATCHDOG] i6300esb.patch
I wrote earlier to the list[1] asking for a driver for the watchdog
included in the 6300ESB chipset. I got a 2.4 driver via private email
from Ross Biro which I've changed into what I hope resembles a 2.6
driver (which was done by looking a lot at the watchdog drivers
already in the 2.6 tree).
I've attached the result, and I'm hoping to get some feedback on the
coding as a first step. I can't actually test it on the hardware
right now as I won't have physical access until April. So my own tests
have been limited to "compiles-without-warnings" and
"can-be-insmodded-in-other-machine-without-oops".
