Now that we can utilize the BCM7038_WDT driver, remove that one which was not converted to the watchdog APIs. There are a couple of notable differences with how the bcm7038_wdt driver proceeds: - bcm63xx_wdt would register with the ad-hoc BCM63xx hardware timer API, but this would only be used in order to catch the interrupt *before* a SoC reset and make the kernel "die" - bcm6xx_wdt would register a software timer and kick it every second in order to pet the watchdog, thus offering a two step watchdog process. This is not something that is brought over to the bcm7038_wdt as it is deemed unnecessary. If user-space cannot pet the watchdog, but a kernel timer can, the system is still in a bad shape anyway. bcm7038_wdt is simpler in its behavior and behaves as a standard watchdog driver and is not making use of any specific platform APIs, therefore making it more maintainable and extensible.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
