Picking up watchdog pull requests starting with the 7.2 commit window

Picking up watchdog pull requests starting with the 7.2 commit window

[Guenter Roeck]

Hi all,

I have not heard from Wim recently, and he did not send a watchdog
pull request for the 7.1 commit window.

Unless Wim informs me that this was an exception and that he will
continue sending pull requests going forward, I'll handle watchdog
subsystem pull requests starting with the 7.2 commit window.

Thanks,
Guenter

Thanks Guenter. Curious to know - will your branch[1] be integrated into 
the linux-next as well?

Yes, if I don't hear from Wim in a week or so.

Hi All,

Due to health issues I indeed have been out for some time. It was not one perticular thing, but a series of small issues one after the other.
And when I was finally over the health issues some serious issues at work prevented me from having any spare time.

So first of all: my sincere apologies for being out so suddenly.
Secondly: Thanks Guenter for stepping in and taking over. I didn't want to "retire" as a maintainer like this, but I guess that's life.

It's indeed best that Guenter continues with the watchdog driver part and manages the trees.

Kind regards,
Wim.
