From 8b9468d496abd357cc797b27a79d4402f5e0e94d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Wim Van Sebroeck Date: Tue, 26 Jun 2012 20:07:21 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] watchdog: core: fix WDIOC_GETSTATUS return value In commit 7a87982420e5e126bfefeb42232d1fd92052794e we added a wrapper for the WDIOC_GETSTATUS ioctl call. The code results however in a different behaviour: it returns an error if the driver doesn't support the status operation. This is not according to the API that says that when we don't support the status operation, that we just should return a 0 value. Only when the device isn't there anymore, we should return an error.
