From 6fd656012bb8d5c5a4570adc2e630668b0109cb0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Samuel Tardieu Date: Wed, 12 Mar 2008 14:28:03 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] [WATCHDOG] Add w83697h_wdt early_disable option MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Pádraig Brady requested the possibility of not disabling the watchdog at module load time or kernel boot time if it had been previously enabled in the bios. It may help rebooting the machine if it freezes before the userland daemon kicks in.
