From 0b36086b5d7c397a128784bed6e332418e500af1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jordan Crouse Date: Mon, 21 Jan 2008 10:07:00 -0700 Subject: [WATCHDOG] Add a watchdog driver based on the CS5535/CS5536 MFGPT timers Add a watchdog timer based on the MFGPT timers in the CS5535/CS5536 companion chips to the AMD Geode GX and LX processors. Only caveat is that the BIOS must provide at least a one free timer, and most do not.
