Hi all, I wrote a GPIO watchdog for a extern simple watchdog (LTC2917). It is a voltage supervisor with watchdog timer functionality. Do you think should I send this to maintainer? Could it be usefull for somebody else? Thanks Andreas

I am not familiar with Watchdog stuffs, but I think it might worth a shot if you try to send it to the maintainer. As long as you are descriptive enough when explaining about the patches, follow the patch sending's rules, I think it is likely to be accepted. -- regards, Mulyadi Santosa Freelance Linux trainer and consultant blog: the-hydra.blogspot.com training: mulyaditraining.blogspot.com

You can put it in staging directory if you suspect the code quality and if someone is looking for some kernel work they will definitely add the bells and whistles so that it can be mainlined. I do think that you should just send the driver code to LKML.You will definitely get more responses and the right way of mainlining it.

Thank you for reply. I think I will send the driver to LKML and will see what happen. Regards Andreas
