[WATCHDOG] Semi-typical watchdog bug re early misc_register()
It seems that some watchdog drivers are doing following mistake:
rv = misc_register();
if (rv < 0)
return rv;
rv = request_region();
if (rv < 0) {
misc_deregister();
return rv;
}
But, right after misc_register() returns, misc device can be opened and
ioctls interacting with hardware issued, and driver can do outb() to
port it doesn't own yet, because request_region() is still pending.
Here is my patch, compile-tested only.
