As I said, I have no task like this assigned (and no personal interest, too). So, you'd need to do it yourself, hire me, or request this feature =66rom Renesas (and hope that they pass the task to me ;)). > Please correct me if i'm wrong - module parameter is a way to ignore > kernel config. For same purpose, to disable wdt at runtime "magic 'V'" > should be used. I have to admit that I don't have a specific use-case, I just did general support as requested. So, I followed the style that basically every other watchdog driver has this parameter. --ZPt4rx8FFjLCG7dd Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1 iQIcBAEBAgAGBQJXAl/mAAoJEBQN5MwUoCm2A3UP/iONBwdLCfED3o7MNxoCuB1h 2FA8IcFkl98vR1jbF+Vm9MzageeJsJbv4osCjny2UYksiDaQRHBTpgMbnSmc/0wS KMG+7+brhMpAvT6lhXwn4JefEeAqu+ANp0ipKrigMK+GRx+0uA0K0mSSFpg77WKO iR4DWsLCFC8oP+WqQ5QE77ZPwReLe/YUXyuhlG5oB496G3XLfKDN82nuGidtYKQz xgi0vZTq7rVWCiRKib4+ip28GFx3BVfa3li7Py/63VNZxZjQ9llUP5YKLagwwbeL X44OVzwhntSA49Pjsas+aQ5xIEzkRHQZAY4q9hE+hCc/6dGMdlWUp3G7LbzBm41f BycBByg8rTaiBpjCn2oqiZAAvO+SQbuQ2KdZwvqGG02wEll7g6iiDKnZduoSuEkt 0R35QLdY2fDcwhT3t7sEhm8PyHCHUQN4+ZH1I37frr8qCpFE7zPThBHkwQRpbod1 kXDIpj525T8lUXZFN8ooFrUG1kJ8DqGFSO4slrnrAKYrnC+5TCU2k180mueibxUq UWzJMSGkpmtqe0Jz3GhTVw5/FaIoZGkfDOpSss0X57r/I+Tv4Hpo0p2DwvO8uF3T dChW7n5DhYp36aAKM1DpUiQkHF7n78q0Zq+NMu07yj8UwjdR+tDPcbEkTDRxYBWK s9HyuajooWWAeHAhn1XV =wCDX -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --ZPt4rx8FFjLCG7dd--
