From 5e53c8ed813d6100d2cebbf83f2192b201f70772 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jean-Baptiste Theou Date: Tue, 9 Jun 2015 09:55:03 -0700 Subject: watchdog: gpio_wdt: Add option for early registration In some situation, mainly when it's not possible to disable a watchdog, you may want the watchdog driver to be started as soon as possible. Adding GPIO_WATCHDOG_ARCH_INITCALL to raise initcall from module_init to arch_initcall.
