+         Say Y here if you want to use the new watchdog timer driver core.
+         This driver provides a framework for all watchdog timer drivers
+         and gives them the /dev/watchdog interface (and later also the
+         sysfs interface).
+
+         To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module will
+         be called watchdog.
