Right, the sch56xx watchdog code conversion to the watchcore depended on
some pending watchdag core changes, so it seemed sensible to get them all
in though Wim's tree. Sorry if that caused any confusion.

Now that we've a common watchdog core, I would also like to convert the
fschmd watchdog code to it (one of these days). Which raises the question
through which tree should that conversion go in. fschmd is primarily a hwmon
driver, but the changes will only touch the watchdog part...

I guess it would be best to get the conversion in to Wim's tree, even though
that slightly increases the chance of conflicts. The fschmd driver does not see
a lot of churn, and I think Wim is a better reviewer for watchdog related
patches :)

Thanks & Regards,

Hans
