Subject: [PATCH 0/2] watchdog: ath79: modernize and broaden build coverage
Date: Fri, 22 May 2026 16:25:51 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260522232553.44748-1-rosenp@gmail.com> (raw)
Two cleanups for the Atheros AR71XX/AR724X/AR913X watchdog driver.
Patch 1 splits OF out as a hard dependency (the driver has always been
OF-only) and broadens COMPILE_TEST coverage from ARM to all
architectures, so the driver can be built on non-MIPS targets.
Patch 2 moves the driver off the legacy miscdevice/file_operations
interface to the watchdog_device framework. This drops ~100 lines of
hand-rolled ioctl, open/release, and busy/expect-close bookkeeping in
favor of framework callbacks, fixes get_timeleft() to return seconds
instead of raw clock ticks, and properly propagates -EPROBE_DEFER from
clk_get(). nowayout, the timeout module parameter, and module .owner
are wired through the standard helpers.
Tested on an Archer C7v2; sysupgrade watchdog handoff still works.
