I just can't find any value in MODULE_ALIAS_MISCDEV(WATCHDOG_MINOR)
and MODULE_ALIAS_MISCDEV(TEMP_MINOR) statements.Either the device is enumerated and the driver already has a module
alias (e.g. PCI, USB etc.) that will get the right driver loaded
automatically.Or the device is not enumerated and loading its driver will lead to
more or less intrusive hardware poking. Such hardware poking should be
limited to a bare minimum, so the user should really decide which
drivers should be tried and in what order. Trying them all in
arbitrary order can't do any good.On top of that, loading that many drivers at once bloats the kernel
log. Also many drivers will stay loaded afterward, bloating the output
of "lsmod" and wasting memory. Some modules (cs5535_mfgpt which gets
loaded as a dependency) can't even be unloaded!If defining char-major-10-130 is needed then it should happen in
user-space.Signed-off-by: Jean Delvare

At present the module does not unset the NO_REBOOT bit upon shutdown, this
causes the BIOS to fail the POST once and reset. During the next boot it
displays the following error message:***** Warning: System BOOT Fail *****
Your system last boot fail or POST interrupted.
Please enter setup to load default and reboot again.
Press F1 to continue, DEL to enter SETUPWith this patch the NO_REBOOT flag will be unset on shutdown and thus stop
this failure from occurring.Tested on 'ASUS P5N32-E SLI with BIOS revision 1801' and
'ASUS P5N32-E SLI PLUS with BIOS revision 1502'.Signed-off-by: Mart Gerrits

Fix section mismatch warning:
Mark the called nv_tco_getdevice() as __devinit, just like its caller.WARNING: drivers/watchdog/nv_tco.o(.devinit.text+0x16): Section mismatch in reference from the function nv_tco_init() to the function .init.text:nv_tco_getdevice()
The function __devinit nv_tco_init() references
a function __init nv_tco_getdevice().
If nv_tco_getdevice is only used by nv_tco_init then
annotate nv_tco_getdevice with a matching annotation.Signed-off-by: Randy Dunlap

This driver adds support for /dev/watchdog for boards using either the MCP51 or
MCP55 chipsets. These are also known as the nForce 430 and nForce 550. This
driver is likely to work on other chipsets as well, though those are the only
two that have been tested.Signed-off-by: Mike Waychison
