watchdog: gpio_wdt: Add option for early registration
In some situation, mainly when it's not possible to disable a watchdog, you may want the watchdog driver to be started as soon as possible. Adding GPIO_WATCHDOG_ARCH_INITCALL to raise initcall from module_init to arch_initcall. This patch require watchdog registration deferral mechanism Signed-off-by: Jean-Baptiste Theou <jtheou@adeneo-embedded.us> Reviewed-by: Guenter Roeck <linux@roeck-us.net> Signed-off-by: Wim Van Sebroeck <wim@iguana.be>
