Subject: Serious regression in 3.5's iTCO_wdt, does anyone care?
Date: Thu, 23 Aug 2012 16:15:46 +0200	[thread overview]

This regards the following commit in the Linus tree:

commit 887c8ec7219fc8eba78bb8f44a74c660934e9b98

    watchdog: Convert iTCO_wdt driver to mfd model

Ever since the Linux 3.5 update, the iTCO_wdt driver has been completely
non-functional on every machine I encountered due to the above
conversion. A bug report for this problem has been open at
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=44991 for over a month.

Yet, neither the author of the commit, nor the people who signed off on
it have reacted to the bug report.

At this point, I believe that none of you are actually aware of the
problem and I write you to change that unfortunate situation.

Regards
Thomas Bächler
