[WATCHDOG] wdt: fix locking
The audit of _p usage shows various drivers assume inb_p is somehow atomic. Of course it isn't and the delay can be split from the I/O cycle causing a timing violation on chips that matter (eg this one) With the proposed use of udelay() for some _p delays this will cease to be a mostly theoretical bug (as the delay stall is unsplittable) and wants fixing. Lots of other drivers need fixing this way too. Signed-off-by: Alan Cox <alan@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Wim Van Sebroeck <wim@iguana.be> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org>
