Subject: [PATCH v2] watchdog: Add hardware dependency to BCM7038 driver
Date: Wed, 24 Feb 2016 16:17:26 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20160224161726.4888edd4@endymion> (raw)

The BCM7038 watchdog driver is specific to Broadcom ARM and MIPS
SoCs so do not present it on other architectures, unless
build-testing.
