[PATCH] watchdog: ath79: convert to watchdog_device
From: Rosen Penev
Date: Mon May 18 2026 - 20:33:52 EST
Converts from the legacy miscdevice/file_operations interface to the
watchdog_device framework, simplifying the driver and properly handling
EPROBE_DEFER.
Use wdd->timeout in all callbacks instead of a global, fix get_timeleft()
to return seconds instead of raw clock ticks, store max_timeout in the
watchdog_device struct, wire up nowayout via watchdog_set_nowayout(), pass
the module parameter to watchdog_init_timeout(), add .owner to
watchdog_ops, and remove the leftover file-ops state (wdt_flags and the
busy/expect-close bits).
Tested on an Archer C7v2. sysupgrade watchdog handoff works fine.
