GPIO Watchdog device driver

GPIO Watchdog device driver

[Andreas Schmidt]

Hi all,
I wrote a GPIO watchdog for a extern simple watchdog (LTC2917). It is a
voltage supervisor with watchdog timer functionality. Do you think
should I send this to maintainer? Could it be usefull for somebody else?

Thanks

Andreas

I am not familiar with Watchdog stuffs, but I think it might worth a
shot if you try to send it to the maintainer.

As long as you are descriptive enough when explaining about the
patches, follow the patch sending's rules, I think it is likely to be
accepted.

You can put it in staging directory if you suspect the code quality
and if someone
is looking for some kernel work they will definitely add the bells and
whistles so
that it can be mainlined.
I do think that you should just send the driver code to LKML.You will
definitely get
more responses and the right way of mainlining it.

Thank you for reply.
I think I will send the driver to LKML and will see what happen.
