+ This is the driver for the hardware watchdog component on the
+ Winbond SMsC37B787 chipset as used on the NetRunner Mainboard
+ from Vision Systems and maybe others.
+
+ This watchdog simply watches your kernel to make sure it doesn't
+ freeze, and if it does, it reboots your computer after a certain
+ amount of time.
+
+ Usually a userspace daemon will notify the kernel WDT driver that
+ userspace is still alive, at regular intervals.
+
+ To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
+ module will be called smsc37b787_wdt.
+
+ Most people will say N.
