4724ba575e watchdog: update/improve/consolidate watchdog driver
Move the limited watchdog driver help from kernel-parameters.txt
to Documentation/watchdog/watchdog-parameters.txt and add info to it
for all watchdog drivers except the ones that have driver-specific
files already.

Correct minor comments and MODULE_PARM_DESC() text in 2 places.

04bedfa542 [WATCHDOG] wdt.c: remove #ifdef CONFIG_WDT_501
Change the wdt.c watchdog driver so that the code is the same for
both the WDT500 as the WDT501-P card. The selection of the card
is now being done via the module parameter: 'type' instead of the
config option CONFIG_WDT_501.

0c06090c94 [WATCHDOG] Coding style - Indentation - part 2
This brings the watchdog drivers into line with coding style.
This patch takes cares of the indentation as described in chapter 1.
Main changes:
* Re-structure the ioctl switch call for all drivers as follows:
	switch (cmd) {
	case WDIOC_GETSUPPORT:
	case WDIOC_GETSTATUS:
	case WDIOC_GETBOOTSTATUS:
	case WDIOC_GETTEMP:
	case WDIOC_SETOPTIONS:
	case WDIOC_KEEPALIVE:
	case WDIOC_SETTIMEOUT:
	case WDIOC_GETTIMEOUT:
	case WDIOC_GETTIMELEFT:
	default:
	}

This to make the migration from the drivers to the uniform watchdog
device driver easier in the future.

01c785dcb4 [WATCHDOG] wdt: fix locking
The audit of _p usage shows various drivers assume inb_p is somehow atomic.
 Of course it isn't and the delay can be split from the I/O cycle causing a
timing violation on chips that matter (eg this one)

With the proposed use of udelay() for some _p delays this will cease to be
a mostly theoretical bug (as the delay stall is unsplittable) and wants
fixing.

Lots of other drivers need fixing this way too.
