The omap watchdog hardware is able to read the watchdog timer counter
register. This implements this functionality in the omap_wdt driver, so
one is can read the time until the watchdog will trigger the reset in
seconds using WDIOC_GETTIMELEFT.

If on watchdog device registration a parent device is not set, then
the registered watchdog is considered to be a virtual device:
/sys/devices/virtual/watchdog/watchdog0
/sys/devices/virtual/watchdog/watchdog1
Setting a correct reference to a platform device allows to
distinguish multiple instances of iMX2+ hardware watchdogs:
/sys/devices/soc0/soc/2000000.aips-bus/20bc000.wdog/watchdog/watchdog0
/sys/devices/soc0/soc/2000000.aips-bus/20c0000.wdog/watchdog/watchdog1

In a21_wdt_remove() we do a watchdog_unregister_device() on struct
a21_wdt_drv->wdt but never assign it.
Also move the dev_set_drvdata() call in front of the watchdog_register_device()
call, so it doesn't look like an error.

If you've got code that does this in a tight loop
1. Open watchdog
2. Send 'expect close'
3. Close watchdog
...you'll eventually trigger a watchdog reset. You can reproduce this
by using daisydog (1) and running:
while true; do daisydog -c > /dev/null; done
The problem is that each time you write to the watchdog for 'expect
close' it moves the timer .5 seconds out. The timer thus never fires
and never pats the watchdog for you.

Right now the dw_wdt uses a spinlock to protect dw_wdt_open(). The
problem is that while holding the spinlock we call:
-> dw_wdt_set_top()
-> dw_wdt_top_in_seconds()
-> clk_get_rate()
-> clk_prepare_lock()
-> mutex_lock()
Locking a mutex while holding a spinlock is not allowed and leads to
warnings like "BUG: spinlock wrong CPU on CPU#1", among other
problems.
There's no reason to use a spinlock. Only dw_wdt_open() was protected
and the test_and_set_bit() at the start of that function protects us
anyway.

Commit faad5de0b104 ("watchdog: imx2_wdt: convert to watchdog core api")
removes the custom ioctl function. The generic ioctl handler is not
setting the wdog->timeout to the new_timeout but handing this preset
value back to the userspace. This patch sets the new value in the
drivers set_timeout function to fix that problem.

The GPIO subsystem provides dummy GPIO consumer functions if GPIOLIB is

Since the heartbeat is statically initialized to its default value,
watchdog_init_timeout() will never look in the device-tree for a

fall back to the default timeout value if watchdog_init_timeout()

The omap watchdog has the annoying behaviour that writes to most
registers don't have any effect when the watchdog is already running.
Quoting the AM335x reference manual:
To modify the timer counter value (the WDT_WCRR register),
prescaler ratio (the WDT_WCLR[4:2] PTV bit field), delay
configuration value (the WDT_WDLY[31:0] DLY_VALUE bit field), or
the load value (the WDT_WLDR[31:0] TIMER_LOAD bit field), the
watchdog timer must be disabled by using the start/stop sequence
(the WDT_WSPR register).
Currently the timer is stopped in the .probe callback but still there
are possibilities that yield to a situation where omap_wdt_start is
entered with the timer running (e.g. when /dev/watchdog is closed
without stopping and then reopened). In such a case programming the
timeout silently fails!
To circumvent this stop the timer before reprogramming.
Assuming one of the first things the watchdog user does is setting the
timeout explicitly nothing too bad should happen because this explicit
setting works fine.

This commit add a driver for the watchdog functionality of the Conexant CX92755
SoC, from the Digicolor series of SoCs. Of 8 system timers provided by the
CX92755, the first one, timer A, can reset the chip when its counter reaches
zero. This driver uses this capability to provide userspace with a standard
watchdog, using the watchdog timer driver core framework. This driver also
implements a reboot handler for the reboot(2) system call.
The watchdog driver shares the timer registers with the CX92755 timer driver
(drivers/clocksource/timer-digicolor.c). The timer driver, however, uses only
timers other than A, so both drivers should coexist.

Since when we start discussions about the usage Media Controller for
complex hardware, one thing become clear: the way it is, MC fails to
map anything different than capture/output/m2m video-only streaming.
The point is that MC has entities named as devnodes, but the only
devnode used (before the DVB patches) is MEDIA_ENT_T_DEVNODE_V4L.
Due to the way MC got implemented, however, this entity actually
doesn't represent the devnode, but the hardware I/O engine that
receives data via DMA.
By coincidence, such DMA is associated with the V4L device node
on webcam hardware, but this is not true even for other V4L2
devices. For example, on USB hardware, the DMA is done via the
USB controller. The data passes though a in-kernel filter that
strips off the URB headers. Other V4L2 devices like radio may not
even have DMA. When it have, the DMA is done via ALSA, and not
via the V4L devnode.
In other words, MC is broken as a whole, but tagging it as BROKEN
right now would do more harm than good.
So, instead, let's mark, for now, the DVB part as broken and
block all new changes to MC while we fix this mess, whith
we hopefully will do for the next Kernel version.

It appears that, at some point last year, XFS made directory handling
changes which bring it into lockdep conflict with shmem_zero_setup():
it is surprising that mmap() can clone an inode while holding mmap_sem,
but that has been so for many years.
Since those few lockdep traces that I've seen all implicated selinux,
I'm hoping that we can use the __shmem_file_setup(,,,S_PRIVATE) which
v3.13's commit c7277090927a ("security: shmem: implement kernel private
shmem inodes") introduced to avoid LSM checks on kernel-internal inodes:
the mmap("/dev/zero") cloned inode is indeed a kernel-internal detail.
This also covers the !CONFIG_SHMEM use of ramfs to support /dev/zero
(and MAP_SHARED|MAP_ANONYMOUS). I thought there were also drivers
which cloned inode in mmap(), but if so, I cannot locate them now.
