Title:
missing support for Geode/CS5535 hardware watchdog
Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
Triaged
Bug description:
SRU Justification:
Impact: the AMD Geode is a x86 SOC processor containing, among other things,
an hardware watchdog but
as it stands now, we don't compile the necessary code to support it in the
Precise kernel.
Fix: compile the GEODEWDT driver and the timer code (CS5535_MFGPT).
Testcase: install a kernel with the driver compiled as a module, load
it and look for the presence of /dev/watchdog:
sudo modprobe geodewdt
dmesg:
...
[ 344.011123] cs5535-mfgpt cs5535-mfgpt: registered timer 0
ls -la /dev/watchdog
crw------- 1 root root 10, 130 Oct 22 17:54 /dev/watchdog
