Subject: [PATCH] watchdog: mtx-1_wdt: synchronize timer teardown in remove
Date: Thu, 12 Mar 2026 23:06:45 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260312210645.10613-1-aviv.daum@gmail.com> (raw)
From: avivdaum <aviv.daum@gmail.com>
Replace the ad-hoc completion based teardown path with a proper
timer synchronization call in remove.
Stop the watchdog and delete the timer synchronously using
timer_delete_sync(), then deregister the misc device.
This removes the open FIXME about locking/testing of queue teardown
and makes the driver follow the current timer API pattern used in
watchdog drivers.
