Subject: [PATCH v3 5/5] watchdog: Prefix WDT with ICS for clarity
Date: Tue, 5 May 2026 11:26:16 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <5a71979d8e8ab8e0a30de33f6aa2540b3b5dc1ee.1777972790.git.phahn-oss@avm.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1777972790.git.phahn-oss@avm.de>
From: Philipp Hahn <phahn-oss@avm.de>
`wdt.rst` is only about the Watchdog from "Industrial Computer Source"
(ICS). Change the title and rename the file to better express this.
Add missing SPDX license identifier `GPL-2.0-or-later` same as code to
silence `checkpatch`.
Fix wrong link to sample driver in drivers/watchdog/smsc37b787_wdt.c.
