This driver adds sparc hypervisor watchdog support. The default
timeout is 60 seconds and the range is between 1 and
31536000 seconds. Both watchdog-resolution and
watchdog-max-timeout MD properties settings are supported.

Signed-off-by: Wim Coekaerts <wim.coekaerts@oracle.com>

Change in v7:
  - remove static wdt_max_timeout
  - directly use value in _probe instead of extra variables
    comments around it should make it clear enough
  - add WDIOF_KEEPALIVEPING (oversight)
  - fix typo

Change in v6:
  - Cleanup goto
  - remove timeout checks and rely on watchdog_init_timout()
  - move sun4v_hv_api_register under mdesc similar to ldc.c

Change in v5:
  - After proper review of the hv watchdog api, the hv takes care of
    rounding to multiple of resolution internally so just check
    if it's <= 1 second.
  - Clean up _ping() and simplify _probe() value checking

Change in v4:
  - timeout in seconds
  - call the hv with support for microsecond resolution

Changes in v3:
  - Modify sun4v_mach_set_watchdog to allow for NULL and remove
    time_remaining
  - Cleanup includes
  - Consolidate _start and _ping into _ping since they were the same
  - Fix checkpatch warnings
  - Remove pr_info()s
  - Clean up return codes to be standard kernel return values
  - Consolidate _init and _probe into _init
    Don't use platform_device anymore because this is really
    just a driver that depends on a hv call. This now looks more
    like softdog.
  - Cleanly check for sun4v architecture and remove extra tests
  - Convert to ms timer support and honor resolution
    since most drivers use seconds I added _ms to make it clear
  - Clean up validation against the properties
  - Use sane values for MIN/MAX

Looks good to me.

FWIW this is:

This also has my signed-off-by as watchdog maintainer.

Signed-off-by: Wim Van Sebroeck <wim@iguana.be>

I presume you will take this via the SUN architecture tree?

Kind regards,
Wim.

Yes and I already send a pull request with this in it last night
to Linus.
