Hi Wim,

Today's linux-next merge of the watchdog tree got a conflict in
drivers/watchdog/imx2_wdt.c between commit
bb2fd8a844d3a9209599b5fb694b30ac46a56ef0 ("watchdog: Driver for the
watchdog timer on Freescale IMX2 (and later) processors") from Linus'
tree and commit 1216b28847276929d920296e34b4e8226eaf4e79 ("watchdog:
Driver for the watchdog timer on Freescale IMX2 (and later) processors")
from the watchdog tree.

These are two versions of the same patch. I used the version from Linus'
tree - but I do need to ask what is the point of having a patch in
linux-next for two days and then submitting a different version of the
patch to Linus? The changes are not insignificant. Both patches have the
same Author date and SOB etc lines.
