  • 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.

  • 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.

  • This brings the watchdog drivers into line with coding style.
    This patch takes cares of the indentation as described in chapter 1:
    The preferred way to ease multiple indentation levels in a switch
    statement is to align the "switch" and its subordinate "case"
    labels in the same column instead of "double-indenting" the "case"
    labels.

  • Fix them up. Once we know the long term plan the watchdogs can all get
    shrunk massively anyway
