The one that went to Linus is the correct one.
I must apologise, I indeed fucked things up. I wasn't completely happy
with Wolfram's patch, changed it, Wolfram pointed out some things that
still could be improved and then we tested the final version, saw that
everything was OK and much beter then what we had.
And then I made the error to want to rush it in during this merge window
still (due to the fact that we are allready reviewing this driver for a
long time). So yes sorry, this was the wrong thing to do (well, not having
a better driver in, but the way the testing should have been done and the
correct process that should have been followed).

I will clean up the watchdog-next tree.

Sorry again,
Wim.
