Subject: [PATCH] powerpc: remove useless spinlock from mpc83xx watchdog
Date: Thu, 19 Jan 2006 00:58:21 -0600 (CST)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <Pine.LNX.4.44.0601190057130.8484-100000@gate.crashing.org> (raw)

Since we can only open the watchdog once having a spinlock to protect
multiple access is pointless.
