2013-11-17watchdog: Get rid of MODULE_ALIAS_MISCDEV statementsJean Delvare
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.

2012-03-27watchdog: nowayout is boolWim Van Sebroeck
nowayout is actually a boolean value. So make it bool for all watchdog device drivers. Signed-off-by: Wim Van Sebroeck <wim@iguana.be>
2012-03-27watchdog: Use pr_<fmt> and pr_<level>Joe Perches
Use the current logging styles. Make sure all output has a prefix. Add missing newlines. Remove now unnecessary PFX, NAME, and miscellaneous other #defines. Coalesce formats. Signed-off-by: Joe Perches <joe@perches.com> Signed-off-by: Wim Van Sebroeck <wim@iguana.be>
2010-05-25watchdog: fix several MODULE_PARM_DESC stringsRandy Dunlap
Fix MODULE_PARM_DESC() strings in several watchdog drivers. Some are simple as add a parenthesis. Others are problems from __stringify() being used on a variable name instead of a macro name, so the variable name is produced in the string instead of its build-time value. In these cases, create a macro for the value so that the module param description string is useful. Only pc87413_wdt has been built (due to toolchains).
