This regards the following commit in the Linus tree:
commit 887c8ec7219fc8eba78bb8f44a74c660934e9b98 Author: Aaron Sierra <asierra@xes-inc.com> Date: Fri Apr 20 14:14:11 2012 -0500
watchdog: Convert iTCO_wdt driver to mfd model
Ever since the Linux 3.5 update, the iTCO_wdt driver has been completely non-functional on every machine I encountered due to the above conversion. A bug report for this problem has been open at https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=44991 for over a month.
Yet, neither the author of the commit, nor the people who signed off on it have reacted to the bug report.
At this point, I believe that none of you are actually aware of the problem and I write you to change that unfortunate situation.
