------------------------------------------------------
Subject: drivers/watchdog/shwdt.c: fix usage of mod_timer
From: David Engraf <david.eng...@sysgo.com>
Fix the usage of mod_timer() and make the driver usable. mod_timer() must
be called with an absolute timeout in jiffies. The old implementation
used a relative timeout thus the hardware watchdog was never triggered.
