b10958d338 [WATCHDOG] Mixcom Watchdog - update "Documentation"
Robert Radez started cleaning up the mixcomwd driver
in 2002. All his changes have been incorporated.
Since he owns that credit -> document it correctly.

0d4804b31f [WATCHDOG] iTCO_wdt.c - fix ACPI Base register
The ACPI/PM base I/O address which is the base
for the TCO registers is defined as bits [15:7]
(highest bit is 31, lowest is 0)

The code however only reads bits [14:7]. So
        base_address &= 0x00007f80;
needs to be:
        base_address &= 0x0000ff80;

This patch fixes this.

6473d160b4 PCI: Cleanup the includes of <linux/pci.h>
I noticed that many source files include <linux/pci.h> while they do
not appear to need it. Here is an attempt to clean it all up.

In order to find all possibly affected files, I searched for all
files including <linux/pci.h> but without any other occurence of "pci"
or "PCI". I removed the include statement from all of these, then I
compiled an allmodconfig kernel on both i386 and x86_64 and fixed the
false positives manually.

My tests covered 66% of the affected files, so there could be false
positives remaining. Untested files are:

arch/alpha/kernel/err_common.c

I would welcome test reports for these files. I am fine with removing

changes aren't safe. The tested part would still be nice to have.

fb8f7ba077 [WATCHDOG] Semi-typical watchdog bug re early misc_register()
It seems that some watchdog drivers are doing following mistake:

	rv = misc_register();
	if (rv < 0)
		return rv;
	rv = request_region();
	if (rv < 0) {
		misc_deregister();
		return rv;
	}

But, right after misc_register() returns, misc device can be opened and
ioctls interacting with hardware issued, and driver can do outb() to
port it doesn't own yet, because request_region() is still pending.

Here is my patch, compile-tested only.

f3dc07330c [WATCHDOG] pcwd_usb.c - get heartbeat from dip switches
The PCWD cards normally use the heartbeat that is set via
the dip-switches of the card. There are only 3 switches,
thus 8 combinations that each have a certain heartbeat.
The card can however be programmed with a heartbeat from
1 till 65535 seconds. This is what our driver does: it
programs the heartbeat on the card.

There are however a lot of people that don't know that
we set the heartbeat of the watchdog card to the value
provided by the heartbeat module parameter. Instead they
think that the heartbeat value is the same as set by the
dip-switches.

This patch changes the driver so that at startup you can
take the heartbeat from the dip-switches. You do this
by setting the heartbeat module parameter to 0. This
patch also makes this the default behaviour.

2ef473de1e [WATCHDOG] pcwd_usb.c - get heartbeat from dip switches
The PCWD cards normally use the heartbeat that is set via
the dip-switches of the card. There are only 3 switches,
thus 8 combinations that each have a certain heartbeat.
The card can however be programmed with a heartbeat from
1 till 65535 seconds. This is what our driver does: it
programs the heartbeat on the card.

There are however a lot of people that don't know that
we set the heartbeat of the watchdog card to the value
provided by the heartbeat module parameter. Instead they
think that the heartbeat value is the same as set by the
dip-switches.

This patch changes the driver so that at startup you can
take the heartbeat from the dip-switches. You do this
by setting the heartbeat module parameter to 0. This
patch also makes this the default behaviour.
