+Subject: [PATCH] watchdog: ixp4xx: Make sure restart always works
+
+The IXP4xx watchdog in early "A0" silicon is unreliable and
+cannot be registered, however for some systems such as the
+USRobotics USR8200 the watchdog is the only restart option,
+so implement a "dummy" watchdog that can only support restart
+in this case.
+
+Fixes: 1aea522809e6 ("watchdog: ixp4xx: Implement restart")
+Signed-off-by: Linus Walleij <linus.walleij@linaro.org>
+---
+Other solutions like implementing a pure restart notifier
+callback catch in the driver is possible, but this method
+will minimize the amount of code and reuse infrastructure
+in the core.
