Hi Anish,

currently we configure/pet the watchdog from user space via /dev/ipmi0
device interface and I would like to do the pet part from kernel module. It
looks like we do have ipmi_watchdog.c driver that does pet but I am not
able to understand what I need to do in order to make it independent of
user space and keep pet by its own. Wondering if you could please help me
here.

Regards,
Vipul.
