I just can't find any value in MODULE_ALIAS_MISCDEV(WATCHDOG_MINOR)
and MODULE_ALIAS_MISCDEV(TEMP_MINOR) statements.
Either the device is enumerated and the driver already has a module
alias (e.g. PCI, USB etc.) that will get the right driver loaded
automatically.
Or the device is not enumerated and loading its driver will lead to
more or less intrusive hardware poking. Such hardware poking should be
limited to a bare minimum, so the user should really decide which
drivers should be tried and in what order. Trying them all in
arbitrary order can't do any good.
On top of that, loading that many drivers at once bloats the kernel
log. Also many drivers will stay loaded afterward, bloating the output
of "lsmod" and wasting memory. Some modules (cs5535_mfgpt which gets
loaded as a dependency) can't even be unloaded!
If defining char-major-10-130 is needed then it should happen in
user-space.

Some motherboards like the Advantech ARK3400 documentation
use a non-inverted GPIO pin. We fix this by assuming that
the BIOS will set the Polarity bit for the GPIO correctly
at startup and we keep the Bit-setting intact when we start
and stop the watchdog.

The SCH311x chip contains 2 watchdogs. One is the watchdog programmable
by the runtime register at address 0x65-0x68, the other is the watchdog
inside the power on reset generator. This second watchdog has a fixed
timeout value of ~1.6 seconds and is configurable only by the RESGEN
register.
The BIOS normally takes care of the RESGEN watchdog and disables it (at
least) before the OS is booted.
Unfortunately the sch311x_wdt driver clears bit 0 of the RESGEN register
which has the effect that at the latest 1.6 seconds later, a POR is
triggered.
The attached patch fixes this problem by completely removing any
reference to the RESGEN watchdog from the sch311x_wdt driver.

While checking what watchdog drivers usually do in suspend/resume to
spot common behaviour for the watchdog framework, I found these drivers
which do nothing but add some cruft. Remove it, it is superfluous. New
approaches should probably be done with pm_ops anyway.

"==" has higher precedence than "&". Since
if (sch311x_sio_inb(sio_config_port, 0x30) & (0x01 == 0)) is always
false the message is never printed.
