+Handle the 'nowayout' feature
+-----------------------------
+
+A few drivers use nowayout statically, i.e. there is no module parameter for it
+and only CONFIG_WATCHDOG_NOWAYOUT determines if the feature is going to be
+used. This needs to be converted by initializing the status variable of the
+watchdog_device like this:
+
+        .status = WATCHDOG_NOWAYOUT_INIT_STATUS,
+
+Most drivers, however, also allow runtime configuration of nowayout, usually
+by adding a module parameter. The conversion for this would be something like:
+
+	watchdog_set_nowayout(&s3c2410_wdd, nowayout);
+
+The module parameter itself needs to stay, everything else related to nowayout
+can go, though. This will likely be some code in open(), close() or write().
+
+
 Register the watchdog device

 * WDOG_NO_WAY_OUT: this bit stores the nowayout setting for the watchdog.
   If this bit is set then the watchdog timer will not be able to stop.
 
+  To set the WDOG_NO_WAY_OUT status bit (before registering your watchdog
+  timer device) you can either:
+  * set it statically in your watchdog_device struct with
+	.status = WATCHDOG_NOWAYOUT_INIT_STATUS,
+    (this will set the value the same as CONFIG_WATCHDOG_NOWAYOUT) or
+  * use the following helper function:
+  static inline void watchdog_set_nowayout(struct watchdog_device *wdd, int nowayout)
+
 Note: The WatchDog Timer Driver Core supports the magic close feature and
 the nowayout feature. To use the magic close feature you must set the
 WDIOF_MAGICCLOSE bit in the options field of the watchdog's info structure.
