Whilst rummaging about the PPC development tree I came across the Siemens/SGI/Denx watchdog driver for the mpc8xx. It references a man page which so far I've not been able to find (man wdt_mpx8xx(4)) so I'm a bit clueless about what the monitor chain code does.
In the top directory of the Linux source tree, type: man Documentation/man4/wdt_mpc8xx.4
It doesn't seem to relate to the generic watchdog_api.txt in the kernel documentation (at least the defines don't seem to tie in with any of the ioctl options).
You are right; this watchdog driver provides a very different API with a few pretty powerful options (like escalation strategies etc.)
Any help here appreciated.
Hope this helps.
