2008-08-06[WATCHDOG] mpc83xx_wdt: rename to mpc8xxx_wdtAnton Vorontsov
Rename the driver because now we support some MPC86xx processors. There are no changes to the mpc83xx_wdt.c file, yet. When possible, we do file renames and changes separately (because Linus once asked so, because it helps git to track the renamed files).

2008-08-06[WATCHDOG] mpc83xx_wdt: add support for MPC86xx CPUsAnton Vorontsov
On MPC86xx the watchdog could be enabled only at power-on-reset, and could not be disabled afterwards. We must ping the watchdog from the kernel until the userspace handles it. MPC83xx CPUs are only differ in a way that watchdog could be disabled once, but after it was enabled via software it becomes just the same as MPC86xx. Thus, to support MPC86xx I added the kernel timer which pings the watchdog until the userspace opens it. Since we implemented the timer, now we're able to implement proper handling for the CONFIG_WATCHDOG_NOWAYOUT case, for MPC83xx and MPC86xx. Also move the probe code into subsys_initcall, because we want start pinging the watchdog ASAP, and misc devices are available in subsys_initcall.

2008-08-06[WATCHDOG] mpc83xx_wdt: convert to the OF platform driverAnton Vorontsov
This patch simply converts mpc83xx_wdt to the OF platform driver so we can directly work with the device tree without passing various stuff through platform data.

Since 43cc71eed1250755986da4c0f9898f9a635cb3bf, the platform modalias is prefixed with "platform:". Add MODULE_ALIAS() to the hotpluggable watchdog drivers, to re-enable auto loading.

2007-11-02[WATCHDOG] spin_lock_init() fixesAlexey Dobriyan
Some watchdog drivers initialize global spinlocks in module's init function which is tolerable, but some do it in PCI probe function. So, switch to static initialization to fix theoretical bugs and, more importantly, stop giving people bad examples.
