  • None of these files are actually using any __init type directives
    and hence don't need to include . Most are just a
    left over from __devinit and __cpuinit removal, or simply due to
    code getting copied from one driver to the next.

  • 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.

  • CONFIG_HOTPLUG is going away as an option so __devexit is no

  • This brings the watchdog drivers into line with coding style.
    This patch takes cares of the indentation as described in chapter 1.
    Main changes:
    * Re-structure the ioctl switch call for all drivers as follows:
    switch (cmd) {
    case WDIOC_GETSUPPORT:
    case WDIOC_GETSTATUS:
    case WDIOC_GETBOOTSTATUS:
    case WDIOC_GETTEMP:
    case WDIOC_SETOPTIONS:
    case WDIOC_KEEPALIVE:
    case WDIOC_SETTIMEOUT:
    case WDIOC_GETTIMEOUT:
    case WDIOC_GETTIMELEFT:
    default:
    }

    This to make the migration from the drivers to the uniform watchdog
    device driver easier in the future.

  • Some watchdog drivers initialize global spinlocks in module's init function
    which is tolerable, but some do it in PCI probe function. So, switch to
    static initialization to fix theoretical bugs and, more importantly, stop
    giving people bad examples.

  • * Convert files to UTF-8.

    * Also correct some people's names
    (one example is Eißfeldt, which was found in a source file.
    Given that the author used an ß at all in a source file
    indicates that the real name has in fact a 'ß' and not an 'ss',
    which is commonly used as a substitute for 'ß' when limited to
    7bit.)

    * Correct town names (Goettingen -> Göttingen)

    * Update Eberhard Mönkeberg's address (http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/1/8/313)
