Changes: A dumb compile-time error which occurred when used as direct kernel driver was fixed. CONFIG_WATCHDOG_NOWAYOUT was made into a module parameter. A bug which occurred if enabling/disabling the board failed has been fixed. Full IOCTL support was added to be more compatible with other watchdog drivers. Some spinlocks were reorganized. The possible /dev/watchdog and /dev/temperature operations were separated. /dev/temperature is now read-only and /dev/watchdog is now write-only.
