watchdog: Read device status through sysfs attributes
This patch adds following attributes to watchdog device's sysfs interface
to read its different status.
* state - reads whether device is active or not
* identity - reads Watchdog device's identity string.
* timeout - reads current timeout.
* timeleft - reads timeleft before watchdog generates a reset
* bootstatus - reads status of the watchdog device at boot
* status - reads watchdog device's internal status bits
* nowayout - reads whether nowayout feature was set or not
Testing with iTCO_wdt:
# cd /sys/class/watchdog/watchdog1/
# ls
bootstatus dev device identity nowayout power state
subsystem timeleft timeout uevent
# cat identity
iTCO_wdt
# cat timeout
30
# cat state
inactive
# echo > /dev/watchdog1
# cat timeleft
26
# cat state
active
# cat bootstatus
0
# cat nowayout
0
