[PATCHv2 0/2] watchdog: ath79: modernize and broaden build coverage
Posted by Rosen Penev 15 hours ago
Patch 1 splits OF out as a hard dependency (the driver has always been
OF-only) and broadens COMPILE_TEST coverage from ARM to all
architectures, so the driver can be built on non-MIPS targets.

Patch 2 moves the driver off the legacy miscdevice/file_operations
interface to the watchdog_device framework.  This drops ~100 lines of
hand-rolled ioctl, open/release, and busy/expect-close bookkeeping in
favor of framework callbacks, fixes get_timeleft() to return seconds
instead of raw clock ticks, and properly propagates -EPROBE_DEFER from
clk_get().  nowayout, the timeout module parameter, and module .owner
are wired through the standard helpers.

Tested on an Archer C7v2; sysupgrade watchdog handoff still works.

v2: addressed review comments

Rosen Penev (2):
  watchdog: ath79_wdt: select OF and COMPILE_TEST
  watchdog: ath79: convert to watchdog_device
