From 0e901bed4e053098f1c8411dcbf21324b7f61775 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mika Westerberg Date: Sun, 29 Aug 2010 13:53:14 +0300 Subject: [PATCH] watchdog: ts72xx_wdt: disable watchdog at probe Since it may be already enabled by bootloader or some other utility. This patch makes sure that the watchdog is disabled before any userspace daemon opens the device. It is also required by the watchdog API.
