-This patch series improves the watchdog driver used on the Broadcom 
-bcm47xx SoCs.
-The watchdog driver does not access the functions directly any more, 
-but it registers as a platform device driver and ssb and bcma are 
-registering a device for this watchdog driver.
-This also adds support for SoCs with a power management unit (PMU), 
-which have different clock rates.

+This patch series improves the functions for setting the watchdog 
+driver in ssb amd bcma. It also makes ssb and bcma register a platform 
+device which could be used by a watchdog driver to better set the times 
+where the system should restart. The patches for the watchdog driver
+will be send later and were removed in v3.
 
 This code is currently based on the wireless-testing/master tree by 
-John Linville, because there are some changes in ssb and bcma in that 
-tree queued for 3.8 which will conflict with these changes, if this 
-would be based on an other tree. I have no problem with rebasing this 
-onto any other tree.
+John Linville.
 
-Hauke Mehrtens (15):
-  watchdog: bcm47xx_wdt.c: convert to watchdog core api
-  watchdog: bcm47xx_wdt.c: use platform device
-  watchdog: bcm47xx_wdt.c: rename ops methods
-  watchdog: bcm47xx_wdt.c: rename wdt_timeout to timeout
-  watchdog: bcm47xx_wdt.c: add hard timer
+v3:
+ * Remove changes done to the watchdog driver so John could pull this 
+   into wireless-testing, this sill works with the old watchdog driver. 
+   The patches changing the watchdog driver will be send later.
+   This was done to get this into 3.8 because Wim Van Sebroeck is 
+   neither giving an Ack or a Nack on these patches and we want to do 
+   more changes to bcma/ssb on top of these.
+
+v2:
+ * reword some commit messages
+ * rebase on current wireless-testing/master with 
+      "ssb: extif: fix compile errors" applied on top of it.
+ * do not change value of WDT_SOFTTIMER_MAX
+ * moved some small changes in the bcm47xx_wdt.c patches
