Dear Ondrej,

As advised by another kernel maintainer, patches for antiquated drivers 
like these (this one which I test-built successfully) should hang around 
until someone with the hardware volunteers to test it. Therefore, I would 
provide the software and the individual would serve as the hardware tester 
with the provided software. So far, I've worked with Guenter Roeck to 
conform it to the watchdog subsystem. And now I'm letting it sit until 
someone with the hardware is able to test it.

Thank you,
Mark
