And it's a *very* important point because we need this patch to ultimately get rid of the mach/brideg-regs.h. Quite frankly I'm really out of ideas right now and unless someone comes up with a smart solution, I see no other way but to: 1. Implement an armada-wdt.c driver and stop trying to fix the world. 2. Add some ugly ifdefs to avoid the mach-specific header. 3. ? In fact, I'm starting to think I should have started with (1) from the beginning. -- Ezequiel Garc?a, Free Electrons Embedded Linux, Kernel and Android Engineering http://free-electrons.com
