    [PATCH] ppc32: m8xx watchdog update · fb64c244
    Marcelo Tosatti authored
    
    
    This updates m8xx_wdt as follows:
    
    1) Remove now obsolete fpos check in the write() function. The driver is
    currently non functional due to this bug.
    
    2) Use in/out macros for register access.
    
    3) Allows m8xx_wdt to use a kernel timer instead of the builtin RTC/PIT
    for keep-alive trigger (which is responsible for servicing the watchdog
    until an userspace application takes over). For instance Cyclades PRxK
    boards (MPC 855T based) have a non-functional internal RTC/PIT unit.
    Behaviour for boards with RTC/PIT is unchaged.
    
    4) The last change required moving the RTCSC register setting code
    to a weak function which can be overriden by board specific files.
    Otherwise the timer init code trashes the register making it impossible
    for m8xx_wdt to detect the situation.
