From a422088db21333ba02a0f4fe4f5abfb08c802d35 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Timo Juhani Lindfors Date: Thu, 30 Sep 2010 17:08:04 +0300 Subject: watchdog: it8712f_wdt: Add module parameter for alternative reset sources On iEi PCISA-9652-R10 (BIOS version 1.5) single board computer reads from the game port do not seem to reset the watchdog timer. This patch adds a module parameter wdt_config_reg to specify alternative reset sources. At least WDT_RESET_KBD has been tested, even just running while true; do setleds -L +scroll sleep 1 setleds -L -scroll sleep 1 done is enough to keep the watchdog happy.
